Have you been feeling lonely lately? Feeling like something is
missing from your life? Do you want to adopt a pet, but can't decide
what kind? Look no further because I have found the answer to your
dilemma!
Enter the Pet Rock.
Why a pet rock, you ask? Well, let me break it down for you.
I have listed the seven reasons below (there may be more) why rocks make amazing pets:
7. You don't need to feed them.
This one is pretty self-explanatory. But if you feel a moral obligation to feed them, you can just grab some leaves or twigs from the yard and your pet rock ( I will call him Larry ) can just munch on them as he pleases.
6. You don't have to clean up after them.
Rocks really don't produce much waste. I say "don't produce much"because depending on the type of rock you choose as a pet, it may erode over time, especially if left outdoors. For example, if you choose a very hard type of rock such as quartz, you should see no waste. Shale, on the other hand, will produce large amounts of waste due to the fact that it can split in layers, thus creating a messy area. Do your research and you should be fine.
5. Rocks are generally quiet.
Rocks usually keep to themselves and don't make any noise. Unless they are with about a million of their friends and they decide to roll down some mountain all willy-nilly. I think the odds of that happening are pretty slim though.
4. You don't need to worry about hiring a pet-sitter when going on vacation.
While your friends are busy trying to find someone to take care of their beloved dog Scruffles and their cat Mr. Tibbles, you can rest easy knowing that your pet rock will be safe and sound at the bottom of your sock drawer. Better yet, just stick him in your pocket and he can come along with you! No special pet carrier or extra carry-on fees.
3. They never get in fights with the other neighborhood pet rocks.
You will be pretty amazed at how docile rocks can be. If your pet rock happens to come into contact with a neighbor's pet rock, DO NOT PANIC! Rocks, when placed in a situation where they feel threatened, will "play dead" to ensure their survival. This is where the owner (you) picks up their rock and takes it out of any perceived harm's way.
2. They won't get jealous when you bring a new baby into the family.
Unlike cats or dogs, rocks won't sulk, pout, or urinate on your favorite pair of Manolo Blahniks when you introduce the newest member of your family. No, they will behave like little angels, watching over your little angel.
And the number ONE reason why rocks make great pets:
They are FREE!!
You don't need to spend money on food, vitamins, supplements, shots, deworming, delousing, treats or toys. No doggie day care bills, no $7.99 monthly payments to Fingerhut for Fluffy's kitty condo. You won't spend a dime on shampoo, flea treatments, grooming or that sparkly pink (real) diamond studded collar for your miniature labradoodle named Princess.
There.
Ready to go out and find your new pet rock? No?
You are gonna get that iguana instead?
I give up.
