The Story of My Pet Rock

The story of how I came to be the owner of my very own real live pet rock is a convoluted one, but bear with me, if you will. One day Daisy adopted a pet rock she named sTony. Soon afterwards, Hannah Fanna (aka The Big Hannah Montana Fan, who's also a fan of Daisy) held a contest in which contestants suggested names for her pet rock. My entry won, and her pet rock now answers to the name of FuFu. The prize for winning this contest was - quite fittingly - a pet rock! Mine arrived today, so I am posting some pictures of my new pet rock. It doesn't have a name yet, because I think it's only fair that Hannah Fanna should be the one to choose it! Let me know, Hannah, 'kay?

Edited later: Hannah Fanna has named my pet rock "Candy!" What a perfect name. (I think Candy's a girl.)




In the following photograph, I am letting the pet rock get used to my smells. This is very important. He seems a little bit nervous, but that's just because he doesn't know me yet. Actually, I'm not sure if my pet rock is a he or she, but this may take a little time to figure out.



Hannah Fanna graciously included some chow for the pet rock; however, he or she is kind of a messy eater. We'll have to work on that.



That bald rounded head (which makes me think of my dad) looked like it needed some furs, so Mom was nice enough to give me that doll wig she has. I'm not very good at combing furs yet, as you can see. Then I showed my pet rock one of my squiggles from DKM. I think it was afraid it might be a snake, though, because its eyes got real big and googly ...



Don't worry, Pet Rock. I won't let anything hurt you. I promise to take very good care of you.


Thank you, Hannah Fanna! I love my pet rock. :)

What a nice pet rock you have Lux. Skeezix's comment is very funny.

Daisy said...

Uh oh. You are supposed to feed them? Gotta go....

Kalilea said...

Hmm, I've been wondering where a couple of my rocks have been. I'm off to have a little bit of a conversation with my kitties.

Gandalf and Grayson said...

LOL at Skeezy and Daisy. It's probably a good thing we don't have any pets, Lux. We can't even feed ourselves.

JB's Big World said...

I think your pet rock is cool. Does it move like a bug?

Lux, it appears that you are going to take very good care of your pet rock. The last picture shows how much your pet rock adores you. Just look at those eyes.

Wow! Everyone is getting pet rocks now! Maybe I need a pet.

feefifoto said...

Let me lobby here for the best name ever: Paper Scissors. Maybe I won't be disqualified here the way I was on Hannah Fanna's blog, simply for being the blogger's mother. Tsk.

I also like Aaron deClock.

Shadow / Molly said...

WOW! That is a neat lookin pet rock. I like the wig on him.

Christine and FAZ said...

Wow a pet rock Luxor, so much responsibility. FAZ

Hannah Fanna said...

Hmmm, that is one cool pet rock. I've got no idea what you should name it.

Hannah Fanna said...

Hmmmm, after consulting my mother and brother, here's an idea and I hope you like it:

Candy!

Get it?

Lux said...

Yes, Hannah, I think I do: rock candy. :)

Candy it is, though I feel kinda feel like I'm disqualifying your mom again! Sorry, FeeFiFoto! ;-)

Skeez, you may be right about Daisy. Where IS sTony???

Bogdan, the editor said...

Your pet rock will be a very good pet. I can see it in its eyes!

DaisyMae Maus said...

Wow, Luxie! Your pet rock is gorgeous! I know that you will be an excellent pet parent to your rock.

divakitty said...

Very nice new pet rock Lux, maybe it will get to be good friends with the squiggle.

HotMBC said...

Your pet rock's eyes are a bit googly, but kind of cute too. Maybe you can teach her how to not eat so messy though.
Purrrrrrrrs,
your bud Pepi

The Devil Dog said...

We are sure you will be a very responsible and loving pet owner, Luxor. Candy does have great big eyes.

Kelly Cat said...

Your pet rock Candy sounds like a lot of fun to have around.

Sunny's Mommy said...

You are taking excellent care of your new pet rock, Lux. I think Candy is very cute!

JD at I Do Things said...

Aw! I can tell you really love your pet rock and are taking good care of it. I think she (he?) is very pretty.

PurrPrints said...

now my kitties are jealous and all want their own pet rocks. guess i better go searching for some good ones--though it would be hard to find ones as cute as candy!

Furkidsmom said...

We think we need a pet too. Where do you buy Pet Rock Chow???

Sniffie and the Florida Furkids

Lux said...

Purrprints: If Candy ever has babies, I'll send you one! :)

Sniffie, you'll have to go direct to the source (Hannah Fanna) to find that out. I think she obtained it at a very exclusive place! It might be quite expensive. ;-)

Camie's Kitties said...

Luxor, your pet rock is very cute. She certainly looks like she is going to have fun at your house.

Tiki, Tavi, Cody, Camie and Miss Jade

Junior said...

Are you sure you didn't give Candy some catnip, and that is why her eyes were all big and googly? She looks like a great pet!
