person A: I put a deposit down on a dog_comma_ but it died before I could pick it up.  I was so sad.
person B: That's pretty heavy. I hope that doesn't discourage you from trying again in the future_comma_ especially with a rescue dog or something in that area. If you don't mind me asking_comma_ what happened?
person A: It got distemper and couldn't shake it.  I will buy another one some day.  I think I need a little time though.
person B: I had never heard of that before. That sounds like tragic timing. And you're right_comma_ I probably shouldn't have brought up getting another one so soon_comma_ it just sounded like you'd be a good owner_comma_ since you seem like you care so much. It makes sense for you to not rush right back into it.
