Why My Pet Is Special

My pet dog, Honey, is special because we got her on my mom’s birthday. Honey can do tricks like jumping up and down when you hold up a treat. She also can jump through a hoop and play soccer.

My dog is very loving and protects me from strangers. Also, she loves me and I love her the way we each are!

Although she looks big and scary, once you get to know her she is really quite sweet! She loves to play and she is very fun! I love her as much as she loves me!

She is the BEST sister I have EVER had!!

Why My Pet Is Special

 

My seven month old crossbred cat, Serafena, is amazingly special. Las Friday, April 6, 2007 Serefena started limping. We soon found out why. Weeks ago, Serafena was spayed and declawed. Our vet recommended pellets for litter, but she hardly used it and peed on a piece of furniture. We switched her litter back to Fresh Step and thought we were fine. We were not. A small piece of litter got stuck in the holes in Serafena’s paw. We thought her paws were sore from pulling push-pins off the wall. That wasn’t the problem. We found out the real problem by looking at her paw. A gray piece of litter got stuck in the holes in her paw. Our worst fear was that the litter would reach her bloodstream and kill her. Thankfully, we reached the vet. The vet and my mom talked for a while, until they finally pulled the litter piece out. White skin pieces remained. I was overjoyed that my cat would not die. Now, three days later, she’s alive and playing. I take care of Serefena by feeding her, taking her to the vet, and changing her litter box. She makes me laugh when she jumps and PLOPS down. She is the cutest white kitten ever, and makes me very happy when she purrs. She sleeps in her basket, my bed, and the top of the couch. She even sleeps on chairs! As for me, warm and fun just would not be warm and fun without Serafena. I hope you liked this. Bye everyone!

Why My Pet Is Special

My pet is special because my parents go t him over 20 years ago. His name is Bear. My parents named Bear because he kept standing up on his hind legs. My sister helped name him.

When my parents got him, my sister was only 3 years old. 7 years later my brother was born. Then my Mommy, Dad, Bear and of course Zach moved. This was Bear’s first move. Bear always guarded my brother’s crib and bed.

Five years later, I was born. Ever since I could sleep in a bed Bear was right next to me.

When I was 4, we all moved again. We had a Rottweiler named Wolfy. Wolfy and Bear were best friends until Wolfy passed away. Bear outlived 2 dogs.

When I was 5, we moved again. This was Bears third move. Then Bear got a friend. We bought a kitten! Bear loved his little friend, but, she didn’t like our two dogs, so we gave her to my Meme.

Our family just moved about a month ago. That was Bear’s fourth move.

I love Bear so much and that’s why my pet is so special.

I have a pet gerbil named Ben. I have had him for about a year. I named him after a friend who moved away.

I think he is special because he can run on his wheel at the speed of one mile an hour. He can squeeze through small spaces, he can run very fast, and he can chew paper towel rolls to shreds. Also, he can climb to the top of his water bottle.

My Pet Is Special

My pet’s name is Colesteer. Her nickname is Cole. She is a black lab dog. Cole looks like charcoal. That is where I got her name, from the charcoal we use to barbeque.

Cole is nine years old and I got her when I was one year old. We got her from my dad’s friend. Cole sleeps in my mom’s room, my brother’s room, and in my room. Cole barks at my relatives and friends.

I take care of Cole by letting her inside, outside, and by loving her. Cole eats dog food and we play ball. I have fun with Cole by playing catch. Cole makes me happy by playing with my friends and me. My dog loves the Red Sox. Her favorite toys are balls, Frisbees and kids to play with.

My pet doesn’t get lonely when I leave home because Cole sleeps and she has my cat Pepper to play with.

I love her a lot.

My Special Pet

I have a dog named Shaggy, he is 13 years old and I love him so much. His eyes are brown and his tail is very shaggy. Once he broke his leg but to him it seemed like it didn’t hurt when he broke it. I think he is very brave. He is one of my best friends. I play with him all the time. I play fetch with him, that’s one of his favorite games to play. I fee Shaggy every time he has no food, I give him water if he needs it. Whenever I’m watching TV, Shaggy comes and watches TV with me. Shaggy’s white hair is all curly, just like his ears, they droop down. Shaggy is the best dog ever. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog. I don’t know what I would do without Shaggy. I spend all my time with him. I love him so much.

I LOVE SHAGGY.

The End.

I have a black Labrador named Jake. He is 11 years old in human years. When it wants to come in he jumps up and down in front of the door. So we let him in and he runs to the basement. Once he followed a coyote. The coyote led him to more coyotes. So my dog ran back to our house. 2 months later the coyotes thought that my dog was a coyote. Whenever I am outside he follows me with a Frisbee in his mouth. So I would throw the Frisbee. In the winter when I throw snowballs he jumps in the air, really high in the air. I like Jake even if he is 11.

The name of my pet is Snowball. He is a cat and he is five years old. He has white fur with black spots, blue eyes and a pink nose. I adopted him from the street, then we took him to the vet. He eats plain dry food, he loves it a lot! He sleeps with me. He is really nice to others and me. He is also very funny. He turns on the dishwasher and the sink, and plays with anything that moves or is hanging. He is special to me because he was a great cat from the start. He makes me happy because when I am sad he cheers me up. He makes me laugh when he sits on my head and he hangs on to my leg when I walk. He even plays tag with me and he sleeps with my stuffed animals.

Why My Pet Is So Special

I have a pet puppy. She is very special to me. About a year ago, we went to a pet shop to get a puppy. There were cats and hamsters in the shop. She is special to me because everyone in my family wanted a different puppy and we go the one I wanted. Our puppy is white with black spots and she has short fur.

On the way home we were deciding on what to name her. We decided to name her Reagan after President Ronald Reagan. When we got him, I sat down criss cross. Reagan saw me and jumped on my lap. She knows some of her own tricks.

Today Reagan knows come, sit, and paw. She can now attack birds and other creatures. A few days ago, my brother and I were practicing baseball and we turned around and saw Reagan catching a bird.

Reagan is still living.

My Dog

I have a pet dog and her name is Lily. She is only about 6 moths old and we picked her out at our house. She is a Golden Retriever. She has big, dark brown eyes and golden fur. Lily sleeps in a cage in the livingroom. She does not really like the cage, but she goes in it anyway. The funny thing is that when she wants us to play with her she paws at our knees. Lily is special because she is just a loving, caring, kind dog and it is good to know that she is mine. Lily and I go for walks together, play ball with each other, and just have fun with each other. When I’m sad, Lily always makes me feel better, even when I’m grumpy. She makes me laugh when she tilts her head side to side and when she follows the toy in the air.

I LOVE MY DOG LILY!
