Joshua shared his dog Noah. Noah is a 10 year old huge yellow lab mix. He weighs over 100 pounds. Some kids fed Noah treats and gave him some nice pets and attention. Josh's parents had Noah before they had Josh. He likes hard toys because he rips up soft toys. He likes to play tug-o-war, too.
Thalia brought her dog Zeus, who is 1/2 lab and 1/2 border collie. He is about 12 or 13 years old, which is about 84 years in human years. Thalia and Clio dress him up all the time, and put ribbons on him. He is not very fond of playing fetch. He chases things and then stops and chews them, rather than bringing them back. He likes to shepherd his people, and keep the "pack" together. He also likes to bark, and he is afraid of computers!
Gigi brought Lucy, her dog. Lucy is a mix with some Australian Shepherd. Lucy is one year old. She sleeps in Gigi's parents' bed. She likes to jump on Gigi in the morning and wake her up. Lucy can stand and walk on her hind legs. She stood on her hind legs to get a peanut! The kids took turns petting Lucy.
Simon brought his dog Sunday, who is 13 years old. That is about 91 in people years. Sunday is a pug. Pugs first originated in China. Napoleon and Josephine had pugs, too. Sunday loves food, and will do anything for food. She sleeps on the couch or in a dog bed. She had a dream last night and was running and barking in her sleep!
Emmy brought her pet black mouse Bernard. Emmy's sister Harmony named Bernard. Emmy has only had him for two days. Emmy's family bought Bernard at a pet store. They bought him as food for Harmony's snake, but he escaped in the car. He lived in the car for FIVE days (they thought he had run away out of the car). Since he lived that long in the car, they decided to keep him as a pet. The kids took turns holding Bernard.
Moses brought his fire-belly toad named Fireball. Moses has had him for three or four months. He is awake during the day. He eats crickets. A fire-belly toad is the third most poisonous toad in the world. Fireball only has one eye, due to a birth defect. One side of fireball is orange and black, and the other side is green and black. Moses and Simon fed live crickets to Fireball.
Ava brought her pet fish, Goldie and Ruby. They are really fast swimmers. Ava got them out of their tank with some help from her mom. She originally got them from the pet store. She used to have fish that fought each other, but these fish don't do that.
Jackson brought a green hamster gobbin that does tricks. He keeps it in a fort in his room. He also has a pet hamster at home named Hermes. Hermes is really cute. He is nocturnal, though, so Jackson doesn't get to play with him much.Thanks to all the parents who helped make Pet Day so much fun!!
