I just spoke with him and he seemed on the up and up, he was interested in stuff like do you worry about aging and not being able to take care of your pet. Big dog versus small dog, spending on dogs, asked about what I fed my dog, I think he was trying to see if I was over the top with organic and special diets. Since boomers are older he was asking allot about how much I spend on my dog and what type of things to I buy, and do I feel guilty about spending so much. I told him while I do spend a lot I also mentor a 12 year old girl, and donate time and money to various charities (many of them pet related) and organize a couple of fundraisers a year, and in the near future plan on doing nursing home visits with Lola. So depending on what angle he is going for if he uses my interview, I could wind up looking like an eccentric selfish woman that is focused on spending money on her little dog, or someone that does that as well as incorporates her love of dogs into charitable ventures as well. I let him look at my Facebook page since it has lots of photos of Lola. One thing I found out at the end that I was not keen on, is the AP likes to use your first and last name in news articles to prove they interviewed a real person. Oh well that was my experience. |
