Do You Know?

Ding Ding! It's time for 'Do You Know?'!

'Do you know?' is just for entertainment. I'll put in jokes and facts in these entries!

1. Do you know? It's not water that a camel stores in it's hump, but fat!
2. Do you know? Kangaroos can't jump backwards!
3. Do you know? The hummingbird is the ittiest bittiest teenciest tiniest bird! It's also the only bird that can fly backwards!
4. Do you know? Woodpeckers slam their heads into wood at a rate of 20 pecks per second!
5. Giraffes and humans have the same number of bones in their necks: seven! (Hey, that's my dog!)

Joke Time!

Did the chicken cross the road?
Did he cross it with a toad?
Yes!
The chicken crossed the road,
But why it crossed, I've not been told!


Driving with Penguins
A man was driving down the road with twenty penguins in the back seat. The police stop him and say that he can't drive around with the penguins in the car and should take them to the zoo. The man agrees and drives off.

The next day the same man is driving down the road with twenty penguins in the back and again. He is stopped by the same police officer who says, "Hey! I thought I told you to take those to the zoo."

The man replies "I did. Today I'm taking them to the movies."

New Pets

Smaller pets, like rabbits, hamsters or birds, are easier to take care of. First, it takes less responsibility and second, your parents have more chance to agree with that. Plus they're a lot easier to find in your neighborhood-in pet shops.

My rabbit stays in a cage near my garden, with my dog. They don't bother each other. But sometimes, my dog gets silly and eats rabbit food! That's not a joke, really. Seven could be silly sometimes.

Anyway, there's a few things you need to take care of before you get a new pet. First of all, equipmets. You see, there are basic needs and extra needs (if you want to do or buy for your pets).

Basic equipments for non-flying small animals are quite easy. First, of course, you need a cage. Then, a food and water bowl. You can use bottles for the water as well. Bottles like these:

They stick to the cage's sides. It's easier.

Next is food. You can get easy dry food pellets at the local pet shop. Feed your pet everyday regularly. Try to feed your pet at the same time everyday, so it'll get a healthy diet. Consult your vet for more information and, if possible, get a time table written down for your pet's feeding.

There's also excersice to consider. For guinea pigs or hamsters, you could use a hamster wheel. It's usually propped in one side of the cage. For rabbits, get them regularly excersiced in your garden. Oh, I hope you won't mind a few nibblings on some plants. Snowball does that.

Don't forget to change the loos for your pet as well. Spread out newspaper at the bottom if the cage is a bared one or spread it on the cage. Adding some straw will make the cage prettier, like cages in the pet shop.

Cleaning your furry pals will be quite easy as well. Get a damp cloth and gently rub it on your pet.

That's mostly the basics. There are not much extras for littler pets like that but more for bigger ones like cats and dogs. You can also buy a small hamster house for your hamsters.

You must also get your pet used to others. Don't let that critter get shy! Socialize, that's what.

Well, that's all for now. See ya!

Town for Pets

This blog is 100% animal loving. It's made for a good cause, cause I love animals. Since I love animals and pets, I made this blog. I want every each of you to know how important it is to care for lots of animals of every kind. I have pets myself, and I love them all. Town for Pets is made for fun, knowledge and...just wonderful about animals! So, have fun!
I'll tell you a bit about myself and my pets. I'm Nicholle. I have a dog, a rabbit and two tortoises. My dog's name is a bit funny(don't laugh). His name's Seven, a pom. He's 21 years old in dog years. I called him Seven because he's my seventh birthday present.
My rabbit's name is Snowball. Although she's not really that white. She's black and white.
My tortoises' names are Tori and Chocko. They're quite old, too, although I'm not sure how old. They're a little bigger than a small laptop mouse.
I also have an imaginary Labrador dog, a brown one called Charly. She's sweet and, since she's imaginary, she can turn into anything I want. Her disguise is a brown leather sling bag.
I really care about the animals, I do. I want to tell you all that animals are in danger! Some of them are clinging to the cliff of extinction, like the tiger or the elephants. They're endangered. But since this blog is called 'Town for Pets', we won't be discussing most of that matters, well, maybe on my next blog. I'm just a starter!
I'll write again. Soon. Just until I get the chance to touch my laptop. Hi-hi-hi! See ya!
