My Imaginary Pet
My pet is called Patcher. She is 12years old. Patcher is a furry, blue worm. She is very mean. She can fly. Patcher likes to take things from people. She flies over people taking things from their hands with her teeth. She makes a mess with the things she steals in her house.
Her home is a very scary cave and she frightens herself with her owl growl. Her favourite things to drink are milk and water and sometimes orange. At breakfast Patcher has orange juice, weetabix, toast and a beef sandwich. At lunch she likes tomato soup and bread but at times she only has bread,
She has a mat in her sitting room. She has rollerblades and rollerskates. Her favourite thing is her pencil case which she brings to pet school. In pet school Patcher is learning how to balance on rollerblades.
