While I was away three years ago, my younger kids found a female toad and declared it their pet. Mrs. Toad has a nice tank in our living room with plenty of places to hide. My younger son claims her as his own and feeds it meal worms and keeps her abode nice and damp. They do not feel as though they have a “real” pet and constantly pester me for one with fur; however, it seems like all options someone is allergic to.

Who takes care of it?

Is it your ideal pet?

Write about an interesting incident regarding your pet.

We only had a very short amount of time that we had a dog when I was a child, my parents were afraid that a dog could get loose and hurt a neighbor’s animals. We had a barn cat named Mama Kitty and we had cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, goats, and ducks. These were our first cows, the black one was afraid of my dad and tried charging him while he was sitting on the tractor. After these we had a black and white (possibly a Holstein) that we called “Annabelle” who we really felt was a pet. My dad even called to cancel the butcher on the day she was to meet her fate, but he was a little too late.
