Free topic! (3)

Today, in the free topic, I'm gonna talk about my pets and the pets that I'd like to have.
I have a dog and a rabbit. The name of my dog is Lulu and my rabbit is Emily (yes, there are so... mm... usual names, but my Little brother put them).
Four years ago, my little dog died, her name was Balu, she was so cute and part of my family. Balu came to my house when I was six years old, the situation was very sad, she was so sick.
Domestic animals are great, you can breed them your own way and get them used to things that you want. They're a big responsibility. I love my pets but I recognize that sometimes left a somewhat forgotten when I have a lot of things to do. 
I've always wanted a ferret, they're very delicate and also very expensive, I want that somebody give to me one.
One of the pets that I would love to have, is a Persian Cat, are so cute, hairy, lazy, it could be as my pillow! They're so quiet, they're known as "tiger of sofa" because they love sleep and rest.
This breed of cats demand a lot of care and dedication. 
I hope too, that somebody, a good person, give me one of this.

British pop art show opens at Christie's

http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2013/oct/08/british-pop-art-show-christies-london

A new British pop art exhibition open at Christie's, this exhibition is exclusive  to British exponents and it have more than 140 works for many artists, for example David Hockney, Eduardo Paolozzi, Allen Jones, Peter Blake and  Richard Hamilton. The last one determined the term "pop art", described it  as popular, transient, expendable, low-cost, among other. It said that the Pop Art is dominated by American artists, for example by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, but this exhibition wants show that some Brits artists dominated the term first. 
The special thing of this exhibition is that has never been any big British pop art show in the capital, is a remarkable fact, because is said that the Brits started this movement. Only some of the works is for sale, the other works are private or public colection and from the museum, It isn't about auctions, it's about exhibitions, as the Christie's president said.
This show is staged in Christie's, it was Lord Nelson's houses in New Bond Street.
The public will see a work from Hockney, that has been in his family's collection and also, the Hamilton work that show a drugs trial of Mick Jagger and Robert Fraser.
As we said, any work is for sale, but obviously the Cristie's, hopes that will help boost prices for  new British pop artists.

Now I'll talk some about an animal that I love, the sloth. I share the love for these animals with a great friend and we like to talk about them.
Sloths are animals with a round head, short tail and long limbs. They live specifically in Central America and South America, in more tropical environments. They're of various sizes and in the present, they can be classified in two types: the sloths with two fingers and the sloths with three fingers.
They're characterized by the slowness of his life, spend most of the day sleeping in the trees.
Sloths eat plants, some leaves and trees. The leaves provide them very little energy and nutrients and they haven't easily digested.
Their front legs are longer than the later and have strong claws to grip branches. These claws, they can often serve as defense.
The sloth can turn its head almost three hundred sixty degrees.
There aren't other thing more tender than the baby sloths.
Sloths aren't pets, when people buy them, they're increasing illegal trade to the species and endangering her life.
Some defenceless and slow sloths, they're extracted from the forest for sale. Apparently, humans are some of his worst enemies.
