Please check my letter to pen-friend Dear, Susie Hi! I'm so glad to get a letter from you. It's fantastic that your parents let you have a pet - the best birthday gift, I think) If you still didn't make a choice, I can give you my advice. You know that I used to have a dog. It was amaing, because I adore dogs! But it also was quite difficult. You have to get up early and go for a walk every day - it's not for lazy girls, you know. Moreover you have to train your pet because if not it ruins your house. So having a cat it's easy) But dogs are so playful, more then cats. I know that you make a right choise. Let me know about it. Love, Maria
