I'm just curious, does anyone have pets? My family has this adorable fat guinea pig called Potato(he's got three colors-light brown, white and black), and many, many fish. I really want to have a lizard!

Black Lab dog, Calico cat, and Blue Parakeet (Budgie). Potato is a family nickname for our cat, because she's so fat (given by the vet). I want to meet Potato nowww.🥹

I used to! We had a hamster, Snowball. He looked like a cinnamon roll, but could kill you, so I always used a glass jar to move him when needed. We also had beta fish, and before I go on just a friendly reminder: we listen and we don't judge; so I'd often forget they even existed and as a result didn't feed them for days. But they actually managed to survive for quite a long time!

No judging here! Also, I love the references! Totally here for 'em.

Betta fish are much too pretty to forget their existence lol, although when I had fish many years ago I also forgot to feed them occasionally :-P

My sister had one named Henry when I was little (she's six years older than I am), he got sick, we had to flush him down the toilet. He was a blue one. After a few years, our aunt gave us four of her baby fish (she has a lot), then they started slowly dying. :(

Now, I definitely agree, but I was like 7, so I was more interested in entertainment...😅

PLS I WISH; we're not allowed to own pets hahha, but I will definitely get a dog one day. Also Potato is such a fire name for an adorable fat guinea pig I'm cryingg T_T

NOOOO, trust me, when you get a dog, it's totally worth itttt. I recommend labs, as they are normally a little smaller, but aren't that small, and usually behave perfectly. Our first one (R.I.P Callie) was very big, because her dad was a huge black lab. Our current dog is normal sized for a lab, but she isn't pure bred, like Callie was.

Sameeee I want a pet so bad but I can't get one cuz my family is allergic T-T

I want a guinea pig and wanna name it Butter lol

Im getting a pet. Does that count?🧐

oh, Im getting a shiba inu!

This week's quote: "Bad things happen when good people do nothing." I recently rewatched a show with this quote in it and thought it was a really good call to action! Have a great rest of your week!

I had to reread the quote a few times to let the meaning sink in, and I totally agree with you! It's a good call to action–– especially given the current state of affairs. Hope you have a wonderful week as well!

Also, following me would be much appreciated! I only have 2 followers right now and reaching for ten. Wish me good luck!

thank you! you are so kind!

thank you! much appreciated
