Ever wondered which pet is a better pet - a dog or a cat? In my opinion, it isn’t even close. A dog is much better than a cat. To start with, a dog will be very loyal to you for life. As soon as you walk in the door, your dog will be waiting with a tail wagging. The cat will be hiding behind a curtain. Dogs also help to keep you healthier because they love to walk. Taking a dog on a walk once or twice a day will keep your dog happy, and get you exercising. Try taking a cat on a walk. You won’t make it down the block until your cat refuses to go any further and you end up carrying the cat back to your house. Trust me - stick with a dog when getting a new pet.

I just got back from the best place on Earth - Disneyland. Turns out the best place on Earth is the worst place on Earth. Buying a ticket is terrible because of the price. Taking a family of four is way too expensive. However, once you are inside, it just gets worse. The lines for each ride are really long, and then rides only last 2-3 minutes. Don’t even get me started on lunch. How about paying $10.00 for a hot dog and $5.50 for a bottle of water? When planning a vacation, trust me, stay away from Disneyland.

Soccer is one of the best sports to play. It teaches teamwork, encourages exercise, and develops good foot-eye coordination. Also, soccer has two seasons, unlike most other sports.

For example, you can play 3 on 3, or even indoor. Also, many leagues offer co-ed soccer teams in which boys and girls can play on the same team. Soccer is a great sport to play.
