The Goldfish Paradox
“I have this goldfish. He’s a sort of corpulent, tangerine coloured Goldfish about the size of a tennis ball. I keep him in one of those little spherical tanks in the living room. He’s not the most exciting fish out there, nothing as flamboyant as a siamese fighting fish, or as colourful as the mandarin fish, but he’s got personality.

Owning Pet Rats
I decided to become a rat mum on a whim. I realized later that this was not a mistake per se, but I probably would have benefitted from doing my research before making the two-year commitment my boys would ensure. Just because they are a little pet, rats are not by any means low maintenance. I found this out the hard way.

Wolf Sanctuary
{My non-entered entry to the Member's Only Challenge, enjoy!} When I was 24 I decided to follow my dreams and find the dog I always wanted growing up. I would look for an Alaskan Malamute mixed with a Wolf. Wolves have always been a great fascination for me even from my earliest memories. My parents showing me drawings from when I was three talking about the “wooooolvs.” I have always loved the fact that they can survive on their own or together as a pack. Something everyone growing up identifies with, that struggle to find yourself and feeling alone. Always on the hunt for relationships with others who understand your true self. That hunt for your pack and the freedom it brings. What better relationship could that be then that bond between a dog and their owner.

Sunny The Gecko
Her name is Sunny Sunny is a sweet female Leopard Gecko. A leopard gecko is a good pet beginner reptile owners, easily handle. She’s been with us for a year. Crickets and hornworms are her favorite type of foods, especially hornworms. I love my gecko, but I’m nervous touching hornworms, their faces and bodies just make me creeped out. If I could explain their faces when I look close, it would never end and make me not focus on the theme of this story. I love to hang out with Sunny and describe her colors, to make a perfect description. Sunny has a yellow, white and pink color to her skin. You can see her chubby tail has a pink color it. It was yellow, skinny and more symmetrical to her body before it broke off. Why is her name Sunny? It’s because her dominant color is yellow just like the sun. Yes, I did some research about leopard geckos before I got her. I brought Sunny when she was size of my thumb. It took time for her to adjust a new environment, a new place, a new home and her new parents. I like to say that I am her mommy.

When a Chinese Hooded Rat Won My Heart
I rescued a rat. There was a time I had wanted a snake as a pet. I went out and found a young Boa Constrictor at a pet store. I brought him home and took the advice of the pet shop employee on how to care for the snake. That was a mistake. Had I purchased a care guide, I would have known it was better and safer for the animal and myself to use frozen rodents to feed the snake. Obviously, not while still frozen, but the best way was to avoid using live rodents. I did not realize this and believed the teen aged pet shop employee that feeding the snake live mice was best.
