Me and my pet

My Pet
Friends play an important part in our life.We can't but mention here our small friends - animals.I can say that they are true friends who will never leave you in danger. They are always ready to help you. I'm lucky to have such a friend.It's my dog.His name is Skipper.I like to return home from anywhere every day because he meets me jumping and trying to "kiss" me. It's absolutely necessary to take care of your pet every day - it's a living creature who needs to eat,to walk,may fall ill,wants to play or simply to sit near you watching
in your eyes. I feed Skipper twice a day.His favourite food is bones and brown bread.Early in the morning,before school, and in the evening I walk Skipper.I try to do everything to keep my dear pet healthy and safe. Now I want to describe my dog for you. His muzzle is very
funny and his eyes are as clever as the eyes of a human beeing.His ears are not very long.When he was a young puppy he was as round as a ball. Sometimes Skipper is very naughty and doesn't let me do my hometask.But in general he is a good and obedient boy.My friendship with Skipper teaches me to be kind and loving, attentive and careful for those who need our help. So as you see if you haven't got a true fruiend among your classmates,you can make friends with your pet as I did. Though he is not my only friend he is among the dearest.

My Pet
Keeping pets is a very important thing.Now it's a very popular hobby.Practically every family keeps a pet at home.It may be a cat, or a dog ,a bird as well as some fish or even a snake. I keep fish at home,because fish are the easiest and the most quiet pets.Also they are onderful and interesting creatures. My fish live in a big round aquarium.There are a lot of stones and pretty shells in it.Besides there grow long green water plants.With all these things my aquarium looks very attractive. Infortunataly,I don't know the English name for my fish.
They are red and their tails have a form of a sword( only boys have such a tail).Well returning to their colour -they are mostly red,but some are black and sone are greenish. Some of the fish are so beautiful and frail that they look like butterflies. They like to hide among the stones and plants,to sleep in the shells.It's so interesting to watch them.You can see gow
they grow,how they eat,how they sleep.And it makes you happy! But these little creatures also need some care like all the other pets.Every day I feed them (they like insects very
much).Every month I clean their aquarium and change the water in it. I think that fish are very good pets.I like them very much.
