My pet's name is Holly and she is a 1-year-old from Torrance, CA. Holly is a Netherland Dwarf rabbit. I got Holly from a friend of mine and I'm not sure how she got her name. She does a trick where she puts a binky in her mouth. I love her sweet attitude the most. Holly's favorite food is bananas.... oh and she loves to be held!

My pet's name is Sona and she is a 7-month-old bengal-tabby/mix cat. She lives in California. I went to an animal shelter and picked her out! Sona's name means gold and I read a book about a mermaid named Sona so I decided to name my kitten Sona too since she has gold fur. Sona can jump really high to get her toys! I love everything about Sona, she's sweet and playful! She likes to eat anything and everything, but she's not supposed to! Sona's is a great kitten with a spunky personality. We love Sona!

My dog's name is Bagwell. He is about 3 and a half years old and we live in Houston, Texas. He is a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier (you might not have ever heard of them). My parents surprised my sister and me when we came home from school one day. My Mom came up with his name because of the "go-tee" he had when he was a puppy. He was light brown and his black "go-tee" reminded us of Jeff Bagwell, one of our favorite Astros baseball players. He can sit, lay down, come to you, jump, and shake hands (or is it paws?) on command. I love how he follows me around and just wants to be with me. He loves fried chicken (weird, I know) bacon (normal), hot dogs (normal), and cream cheese (weird). He was the runt of his litter but is the perfect size. I love him and he is my best friend.

My dog's name is Bitsy and she is a Yorkshire Terrier (yorkie) from New York. She is 2 years old. I bought her from the puppy store and because she was the smallest puppy there we named her Bitsy like in Itsy Bitsy. Bitsy loves to jump and she jumps really high. She also likes to play fetch and tug-of-war. I love the way she snuggles up when my mom turns off the lights at night. Bitsy loves to eat chicken & french fries. When everybody sees her they can't believe she is so small because she only weighs 3 lbs.

This is my parakeet Skipper from Texas. Skipper has a mind of his own! My mom gave him to me for an early birthday present and i named him after the way he acted! I have to lock up his cage because he is very skilled and can get out really easily! His most favorite food is "gourmet parakeet diet " and he is very picky eater! The thing that i love the most about him is his preppy personality!!!!

My pet's name is Buddy and he is 10-month-old from Virginia. (He was 4 months old when we took this picture). Buddy is a pure bred Golden Retriever dog born on May 11, 2008 and my family brought him home on July 11, 2008. My family and I were looking for a dog for a few weeks since my last dog, Dee Dee, died of old age. We were looking in the newspaper and saw a picture of a litter of puppies. We went to the owner's house and there was one puppy left. We bought him and we took him home and named our Golden Retriever, Buddy. My dog Buddy, got his name from the movie 'Air Bud' because he kind of looked like Buddy the Golden Retriever character on 'Air Bud'. Buddy has learned to sit, lay down, Hi-five, and we are working with him on Bang (play dead). What I love most about my pet is his floppy golden-orange ears, his barks, and that he loves me! Buddy's favorite food is 'Beggin' Littles Bacon Flavor' dog treats. Some fun facts about Buddy are that his favorite toy is a squeaky elephant dog toy and he loves to lick everything! Once he starts licking your hand he can't stop and his tongue gets tired after a while and starts slowing down. Buddy is the best dog in the whole world!

We live in Virginia. My pet's name is Charlie and he is about 7 and we are not really sure what breed he is but he looks like a Havanese or Lowchen. We got him about 5 years ago at the pound where he was very shy and always hid under a bench. We got the name because my Mom was looking at doberman pinchers when she found the name Charlie and thought it was really cute. Charlie can sit, lay down and he will get a ball if you roll it for him. I love Charlie because its fun to play with him and he's really cute when he curls up next to you and goes to sleep! Charlie loves playing with his stuffed animals (which we call babies). Charlie's favorite food is his dog treats (which we call cookies because he knows that word) and any human food he can get his hands on! I think Charlie can win because he's sweet, friendly, and loves everyone!

My pet's name is Mr. Krabs. Mr. Krabs is a 3-month-old hermit crab from Florida. We got him so he could be a friend with my other hermit crab, Kermit the Hermit Crab. I named him Mr. Krabs because he is a crab and also I really like the show Spongebob Squarepants. Mr. Krabs can climb up the wire playground in his cage. He also likes to dig holes in the sand. His favorite food is lettuce or raisins.
