how 'bout a pet!

right now i dont have any inside pets but i got a bunch of outdoor ones and im gonna write about them another time. i got thinking when i had some inside pets how much i liked it and why i did. pets get into your heart and get to be more than just friends cause they live with you and that makes them a real part of your family. theyre there all the time. theyre there when you get home, when you eat, when you go to bed, when you get up, when youre lonely or afraid or just need a friend to be with you. theyre always happy to see you and be with you and mostly they dont complain. they love you and dont ask for much except some love back from you. pets could make your mood lots better. if youre sad or feeling all antsy, playing and petting feels good for you and for your pet too and when they get you laughing from doing fun stuff that feels real good and makes you smile and feel happy. pets are good cause they could get you thinking on some one besides your self and make you know that you need to take real good care of some one besides you. when you have a pet its not just about you any more and its whole life is on your hands. you have to feed, water, comb and brush, make a good potty place, take it to the vet and get medicine and make sure you do every thing so it could be healthy and happy. having a pet is a big thing and lots of work and you gotta be sure youre ready for it. if you are then try to get a rescue pet cause they need you real bad. but theres lots of other kinds of pets so just get one that you could like, love and be ok taking care of. so, how ‘bout a pet? it could be a real happy thing for you and your family and specially for your new pet. …hugs from lenny

my squirrel friend!

this is one of my really good friends and her name is squirrelita and shes my neighbor. she lives in a really neat treehouse that she designed up and got built by herself. we got to be friends last spring cause of both of us liking peanuts. she likes cat chow too but not me. ick! you could see how she gets herself right at home in the kitchen. shes got three kids from last year that are really big now and they come for peanuts sometimes too. every morning when i open the door so i could put clean water out for the birds and squirrels she just walks in and waits for a peanut while im filling up the bucket. she goes out side with me and gets up the tree to eat the peanut and she watches me get the water changed out and put out food for the day time critters. then she comes down to get more peanuts and talk with me for a little while. having a friend is real neat and its even more neat when its a squirrel friend! .....hugs from lenny
