Welcome to Pet Time.

Today we will tell you what to note if you want to have a pet at home.
First, you cant keep a pet if you cant afford it. It will cost some
money to buy food and shampoo for your pet.
Moreover, your home should be big enough for your pet so that it can
move around.
Yes, you should have enough money and your home should be big
enough. Time is also important. You have to have enough time to play
with your pet.
The last point is the most important one. You have to make sure no one
at your home is allergic to animal hair.
Animal hair can cause allergy on some peoples skin. Before our show
ends, here is an important news item.
Mr Chan called us about his missing dog, Kitty.
