My treasure - essay

I’ m writing about my treasure. I love animals because they are lovely and I feel relaxed with them. I like not only dogs or cats but also all of animals. Of course, I have pets, one dog and two cats. They are my treasure.

The cats, Mya and Mickey, were stray cats. When I was in elementary school, Mya came to my house. One day, on my way home from school, I found a black stray cat was dying. I was surprised and I took him as I was crying. My mother was also surprised. We wrapped him in a blanket. In a few days later he can move free. My father opposed to have him but my mother asked him so I can be with him now. Probably he hit by a car so he scared cars. Mickey has very cute face. He was taken by my mother. He is a naughty cat. He always comes to my house with a mouse or a small bird in his mouth. We don’t like that but he looks very happy. As you can see, they are cute and having some problem. I want to be with them from now on.

Next, I have a dog, called Kumako because she looks like a bear. My father took her about 2 months ago. She was a stray puppy. She is cute and intelligent. My family do love her. Actually, after she came to my house, one of my pets, Pero, was dead. He came to my house when I was 2 years old so he died of old age. I grew with him, he likes my brother. All of my families were crying so my father took Kumako to make up for our missing mind. She is very vitality so we are happy. She is our treasure.

Animals, my pets, be with me whenever I like. I think they know our thinking. In conclusion, my pets are my treasure and my family’s treasure.
