I have a pet. It is a dog and I call it Snowy. Snowy is a Chinese breed. It is small, fluffy and cute. It has
thick white fur. When I cuddle it, the fur feels soft. Snowy does not like bones. Everyday it eats soft food
like steamed rice, fish or bread. Every morning I give her milk and bread. When I am at school, Snowy
plays with my cat. They get along well and never fight; maybe because Snowy does not bark a lot. It
treats the other animals in our house gently, and it never bites shoes.
We always spend time together at home. We do many activities: playing balls, hide and seek, or racing in
the backyard. In the afternoon, I usually take him for a walk. People love to see Snowy. Snowy is really a
sweet and friendly pet.

I’m used to having pets at home because my family is pet lovers. I have kept two turtles since February
2003. I put them all in one tank in my room.
The name of the male turtle is Donatello and the female one is called Rafael It is quite easy to keep
them. They can survive without food for about two months. However, they need a comfortable place to
live. They have to live with imported soil and plants, good water circulation and a piece of dry trunk in
the aquarium. Inadequate conditions can cause not only stress but also affect their growth. The worst
thing is they may even end in their death!
The weapon of an adult turtle lies in its edge of the shell. He will use this weapon when he is disturbed
while he is taking a nap.
