My New Responsibilities

A new pet is a big responsibility! First I will tell you that I named my new pet rock sTony. I want to raise sTony real good. I am not sure what rocks like to eat, so I offered to share my treats with him. He did not take even a little bite! So, I ate the treat myself.

Next, I showed sTony the drinking fountain. He almost fell in! I guess rocks are not very good at drinking. I am learning a lot of interesting things!

Getting good exercise is important. But sTony did not want to go Outside. And my harness did not fit him very well. Since it is not safe to go Outside without a well-fitting harness, we decided to stay Inside.

Now we are going to have some fun! sTony and I are playing with my Gommelgrabber toy. He is not very good at playing games.

But sTony has a funny sense of humor! He wanted to play with my green ball toy, and look what he did!

sTony wanted to dress up in my fashions, but I told him that he is a boy and almost all of my fashions are for girls. He decided to wear this funny bat costume.

Being a pet owner means giving discipline. sTony tried to climb to the very top of my cat tree. This is dangerous for him! I had to give him a spanking. I hope it did not hurt him, because I have never, ever gotten spanked before. Spanking is ONLY for pet rocks because they have tough skin.

sTony and I have had a very busy day, so we will take a nap now.

My New Responsibilities

Bathing my Filthy Beans

The instructions for my pet Jumping Beans say that I should give my pets a bath about once a week. I never knew Jumping Beans were so filthy. But I think it is very important to follow instructions. If you do not own a microscope, you can click to enlarge the instructions.

Here I am explaining to my Beans that they are about to take a bath. I think they are happy about this. But I am not certain. They are swimming all around. I hope they get very clean.

Why are they taking so long? This is getting boring. I think it is time to end the bath.
Wheee! It's like a water slide! Hahahahaha!

Now my beans are all wet. I had a great idea! But my Mommie reminded me that I am Not Allowed to work anything that has electricity. I guess my Beans will have to dry naturally. I hope my Beans do not catch a mold. Hahahahaha!

My new jumpity pets!

You might remember that I did not do very well with my pet Sea Monkeys. Well, now that I am older and more responsible, I have decided to give pet ownership another try. Meet my new friends, the Jumping Beans!

If you will notice, the Care and Feeding instructions say "...not recommended for children under 4." Since I just turned four years old, this means I am Allowed to have these pets. The Jumping Beans like to jump around, all the time! It makes a funny clicking sound if you listen very closely. You will not believe what they were singing! This is what I heard:

We came to get down
So get out your seats and jump around

Jump around

Jump up, Jump up and get down.

I can tell my Jumping Beans already like me because they lined up and came right over to meet me!

We decided to play a funny game together. Grab the Jumping Bean...
... and see how far he can jump! Hahahahahaha!

Uh oh. I just read the instructions again. I guess I missed the part that says "do not throw the jumping bean." I will stand watch over this one to make sure he is okay. It is possible that I will have to do Jumping Bean CPR. Maybe I should have gotten String beans, instead.

Taking care of a pet is very, very hard.

My new jumpity pets!
