My first pet

This is a simple email swap. You will have 2 partners. Tell your partner about your first pet (or the first pet you really remember.) How old were you? How did you get your first pet? If you have any pictures, you can scan one and attach it to your email if you want to (not required, though.) Must be more than one sentence! Try to make it interesting, as if you are reminiscing with an old friend!
