8ºC - MIGUEL G.'S PET - Scooby

Well, my dog is a small poodle, his coat is dense, crisp and curly. He looks fat, just like a sheep, he can be compared to the famous Dolly sheep. His white and pink coat requires regular grooming. He is seven years old. He is cute. It is me who always takes him for a walk - it is like a hobby for me. When I get up in the morning or get home from school and I say «Scooby is going out», he comes straight to me happily and wagging his tail. He has some respect for me. He was taught to sit, to lie, to give his paw and so on. Poodles are regarded as one of the most intelligent breeds of dogs. Whatever people may say about him, I don’t care, I love him, he is mine!

9ºA - JOANA F.'S PET - Obikwela

Hi, Folks! This is my pet, a bitch called Obikwela. Guess why??? When she came to my house, she couldn’t stand still and she was always running around. She is beige, small and sweet. I love her a lot. When I come back home, she shows how happy she is by jumping at me and she can’t stop it.

9ºA - JOSÉ P.'S PET - Fiona

My cat's name is Fiona, but she has nothing to do with Shrek. She is five years old. She likes playing with her ping-pong ball. She is my only pet. I like her. I got Fiona when I was nine.

9ºA -Ruben L.'S PET - Scuba Mouta Ramires

My pet was born on August the 16th, 2009. His full name is Scuba Mouta Ramires. He is a Weimaraner – the name of the breed comes from the Grand Duke of Weimar, Karl August, whose court enjoyed these hunting dogs. He has got blue eyes and a beautiful grey coat, which is short and smooth to the touch. Because of his colour is popular nickname is «silver ghost». He came to my house at the age of one month. He was a little pet trying to get along with my three cats, learning things from them; however, the cats were not very friendly. When he got his vaccination at the age of three months, he started to go out for walks. He is playful and funny, he likes biting us and running around. Now he is learning to get along with other dogs since the cats have already accepted him.

9ºD - ARTUR C.'S PET - Zip

Hi, I’m writing this text trying to show and get you to know something about my cat. His name is Zip, but my brother usually calls him «breguilha» (codpiece). He came to my home three months ago. He has a blond back, white belly and green eyes. Almost everybody in my life loves the cat, except my elder brother who says he hates him, but we often find him playing with the cat. The day when we set up the Christmas tree was the funniest one for the cat loved all the balls and toys that were hanging there and started messing around. On December 8th my grandparents came to my home for lunch and after lunch being served, the first thing we did was picking up the Christmas tree from the floor, because Zip made it fall down onto my mother. This is one of the funniest stories of him and I decided to tell it to you because Christmas is coming. By the way, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

9ºA - SÉRGIO L.'S PETS - Sora & Crystal

These are my cats: the grey one is called Sora. She has yellow eyes, she is small and is 2 years old, she loves to eat shrimps and spends most of her time playing with Crystal, the white cat lying on the top of her. Crystal is 3 years old and has yellow eyes, too, but he loves to eat ham. Sora is the daughter of another cat I had and died but Crystal was taken from an animal shelter where he has lived for 2 years in a small cage. Dearest fellows and followers, if you want a pet, go first to an animal shelter – a facility that houses homeless, lost or abandoned animals, primarily a large variety of cats and dogs for you to adopt. I am sure you will find the pet of your dreams for their sad eyes and their longing for a master is something irresistible. My cats are both in good health and shape, and they are happy.

9ºA - RICARDO F.'S PET - Lucky

Hej, Folks! This is Lucky, my dog. He is a typical Portuguese breed, he is a Podengo. Lucky belongs to the variety of smooth coat and little size. His coat is brown, black and white. As a genuine Podengo, Lucky is hardy, intelligent and lively. He makes a fine companion. He is loyal and fearless, but also naughty and funny. He likes sleeping and playing with his toys. Did you know that Small Podengos accompanied Portuguese explorers on their ships for ratting purposes after the country was taken back from the Moors in the 11th century?

8ºC - MARIANA C.'S PET - Junior

My pet is a dog. His name is Junior. My parents gave him to me because we were born on the same day, with a difference of five years. Now, Junior is eight years old. He is little, black and white and he loves to kiss me. He lives outside the house, in the garden, but he is always next to us: if we are in a room, he sits near the window of that room, because he likes keeping us company. My mother promised me that when we rebuild the garage and clean it properly, he will stay inside the house. I’m looking forward to that day ... I love Junior because he is my best friend, he is always close to me, when I am happy and when I am sad. I will never, never leave him.

8ºC - CATARINA S.'S PET - Mangas

My dog’s name is Mangas. He is a perdigueiro, i.e. a Portuguese pointer, and he is two years old. Mangas is black and white with small black dots in his white fur. He is a very lively pet: he loves to swim and play in the beach, to walk across the town, and to run in the fields. In fact he is a hunting dog so once, when he was a very young puppy, we went to my dad’s village and he pursued some adult ducks… Well that wasn’t pretty at all because the ducks were my cousin Rosa’s, and she grew them for sale or for cooking her best “arroz de pato” ever. So basically Mangas was pursuing the ducks and I was pursuing him. But, eventually I love my dog, he is a great company, he is smart and he has got those miserable sweet eyes always begging for food.

9ºA - MAURO B.'S PET - Pasha

Look at her and guess her name. It is obviously Pasha! Not only because she thinks she is an important member in our family - as you know PASHA is a Turkish honorary title equivalent to the British "Lord",in this case, "Lady" - but also because she likes lying on the floor looking forward to caresses on her belly! Pasha is black and white. She is young and cute but selfish, as well as intelligent. Besides that Pasha enjoys playing football with me.

9ºA - CÁTIA C.'S PET - Kiko

I have got a pet - a cat. His name is Kiko. He is one year old, his fur is orange and white. His eyes are green. He is so cute! He is a funny cat when he plays with his little boot-toy. When I arrive at home, he “asks me” a slice of ham. He likes sleeping on my bed. I love my pussy cat very much.
