What Do You Do With A Pet?

What do you do with a pet?

You hug him
But don't slug him
You squeeze him
But don't tease him
You love him
But don't shove him
You give him water to drink
Sometimes a bath in the sink
You give him food to eat
And sometimes a treat
You walk with him
And you talk with him
Run with him
Have fun with him

But what do you ALWAYS do with a pet?
You pet him!
