Hello, everyone.
Welcome to Let's Talk.
Now how do you choose the right pet for you?
Well, today's guest will help us answer this question.
Please help me welcome Ms. Patty Pet.
Patty Pet, how do people choose the right pet?
They must consider their lifestyle.
If they're away from home all day, owning a dog isn't a good idea.
Because dogs are social?
Yes. They don't like to be alone.
Most cats can stay home alone longer than dogs.
I see.
What about a pet owner's home?
Large, active dogs need large homes with yards.
Active dogs need a place to run, don't they?
Yes. They need a place like a yard or a park.
Are birds good pets for busy people?
Birds make great pets, but not for busy people.
Birds need a lot of attention.
What about fish?
Fish are great pets for busy people!
But fish still need a lot of care.
Just like every pet!
Are you thinking about getting a pet?
Consider your lifestyle.
Are you often away from home?
Don't get a dog.
Dogs are social and need to be around people.
Most cats can be alone longer than dogs.
Birds are also social animals and need a lot of attention.
Active animals need a place to run, so consider your home, too.
Owning a pet is fun, but it's not always easy.
All pets need a lot of care!
Ginger, are you OK?
No!
What's wrong?
I want a dog! I want a dog!
Ginger, a dog is a lot of work.
You can't have a dog.
Oh, oh, I want a cat! I want a cat!
No, Ginger, a cat is also a lot of work.
Oh. I want a bird! I want a bird.
No, Ginger.
You can't have a bird, either, because a bird is a lot of work, too.
Oh. What pet can I have?
Well, I know a great pet that you can have.
Hooray! What pet can I have?
How about a pet rock? Yeah.
A pet rock?
Yeah.
Sit.
Stay.
Good boy.
