How to use "Little" in context?
Small is beautiful. This is especially true when it comes to pets. All animals are little in one way or another. Some are like dogs, where they are short and squat. Others are like cats, where they are thin and have long tails. Regardless of their size, all pets are adorable and make great additions to any home.
When choosing a pet, be sure to think about what size will fit in your home and be compatible with your lifestyle. Pets can add companionship and love to our lives, and choosing the right one is important.
