Taking Care of a Pet
By Cathy Pearl
  

1     "Mom, can I have a dog?" Marie asked one day. "I promise I will take really good care of it."
 
2     "I don't know," Mom said. "A dog is a lot of work. I'm not sure you will be able to do all of it."
 
3     "I know I can," Marie said. "All I have to do is feed it and give it water. It won't need me to do anything else."
 
4     Mom looked serious. "A dog needs a lot more work than just food and water," she said. "A dog will keep you very busy."
 
5     "Well, what else will I need to do? I am twelve years old. I know I am old enough to get a dog. Sam has one. He has to do all the work, and he is younger than I am."
