The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is: favorite. I have had several pets of my very own, and I been thinking real hard about which was my most favorite. I had a lot of fun with my jumping beans. But in the end, I could never really see eye to eye with my beans. Oh, and they got deaded, too.

I got to study my very own pet lizard in the Scientific Observation Pen. I enjoyed that a lot. But since I only got to keep him for less than an hour before he was released into the wild, I do not think he qualifies as a pet.

It was very exciting to create Sea Monkey life. Doing experiments is fun!

Here I am watching my baby Sea Monkeys develop.

But in the end, they all got deaded, too. And they never learned tricks. And I found out they are not really monkeys. I wish I could have a real monkey for a pet.

I also hatched my very own butterflies! They did not die, but I had to let them go. Even though I wanted to train them to walk on a leash.

Finally, here is my pet rock, sTony. He is a good pet.

And he is not deaded. I love you, pet rock. You are my favorite pet.
