Descriptive Text

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.

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
