-Time function has to be implemented otherwise the decrease.* functions won't work. 
-It seems to work however the import time part has to go into the pet_functions.py file.
-Maybe I should move all the imports to that file otherwise it's not clear why they are needed.

+I've fixed the decrease_stats function. However I wanted that it only
+starts after the beginning is finished. So that the pet doesn't start
+with a disadvantage. I currently don't know how to fix this. For the
+moment it will work like this. I could add a function to the beginning
+which resets the stats back to the default values. Might be a good work-
+around however for the future I would like how to do it properly.

+The feature to the pet the pet will be so that it only prints a message.
