My Pets

My family used to have a lot of pets. Over the years, we have had two rats, a gecko, a dog, lots of fish, and two hermit crabs. The rats, both hermit crabs, and all the fish died. :-( The rats died first and my sister and I were both really sad. Then the hermit crabs died. My sister and I each had our own hermit crab. Mine died first because he didn't want to move out of his shell and find a new one. Eventually, he just got way o big for his shell and it suffocated him. He died the same day as my fish did. (We aren't very good with fish.) A little while ago, my sister's hermit crab died. Unlike mine where we dug a hole and put my hermit crab in it, my sister put her hermit crab in a velvet box with his shell, a note, and a couple other things. Then my mom and sister gave him a proper burial in the backyard and marked his grave with a spoon that reads. "Here lies Mr. Wiggles" (That was his name.) After all of those pets died, we were left with only the dog, Cassidy, and the gecko, J.J. My all of those dying pets helped my mom reach her goal. That goal is to have all of the pets dead by the time my sister and I are both at collage. (My sister and I didn't think that was very nice.) Even though we only have two pets left now, one of them is the cutest one. That one is my dog Cassidy and I have an entire story about her. I love my pets and my goal is the opposite of my mom's. My goal is to be able to keep the pets alive and be able to enjoy them for as long as I can. (Pictures will be added soon.)
