Choosing a pet for Christmas
This year for Christmas, I am going to ask my parents for a pet. I have narrowed my selection down to six pets. I will ask for a turtle, lizard, bird, snake, dog, or cat. I'm guessing that my mother will object to the lizard and snake because she's afraid of them. My father will probably say no to the bird and the cat for different reasons. He'll most like say that the bird is too loud and the cat sheds too much fur. So, I will most likely ask for a dog.
What kind of dog should I get? Well, I don't have a backyard, but there's a dog park within walking distance. I don't want a furry dog or a huge dog. I don't care if it's a mutt, so I will probably get a dog from a shelter. I don't care if it's a male or female dog either. I just want a companion because I'm lonely. We can do many things together, like go for walks, play in the park, and camp in the backyard.
I know a dog is a lot of responsibility, but I am twelve, so I am ready to take on more responsibilities. I keep my room clean and do my chores on time every week without being told to do so. I have good grades in school, and I'm even a hall monitor at school. I've never had a pet before, so I am so excited. I will be heartbroken if my parents say no. Hopefully, they won't say no. Wish me luck!
