Dear Pet Counselors,

My name is Bethany. I’m seven and I really want a pet. I’m home schooled, so I’m at home a lot, and I’m bored! I don’t have any brothers or sisters. It’s just me and my mom during the day, until my dad gets home at night. I want a pet that I can play with, and that will keep me company.

What kind of pet should I get?

Sincerely, Bethany
