My little pet

Most of my homey at Penang have dog. Roxy, KiKi and Girlgirl are the name of their little baby. Next time i'll have to post their picture for all those dogs lover.
As for myself, I don't have any dogs or pets currently. I used to have a Caterpillar as a pet in my younger days. It was a green Caterpillar, such a cute and chubby pet. Drops of water and leaf is all my pet needed. the Caterpillar stay in a tiny paper box that i found at my dad shop. Days by days I was so eager to see my Caterpillar to become a beautiful butterfly, for my friend, Felicia's pet had been grown into a butterfly.

But my pet didn't become a beautiful nor an ugly butterfly, it became a toasted Caterpillar. Thanks to our unbearable weather and this careless owner. i left my Caterpillar in the car during the afternoon time. I don't even remember where did my mum and I went to but i thought it will be just a while. By the time i got into the oven-liked car, i saw my tiny paper box, as i open up the box with my trembling hand, a lifeless toasted Caterpillar was lying there. my heart sank to the endless bottom.
I didn't know if my mum remembers or even know that i used to have this Caterpillar. But i miss my Caterpillar whenever i saw Oscar's pet, the little orange strip wormy on Sesame street. I know I know, worm is different from Caterpillar but for some reason it just remind me of the Caterpillar i used to have. yes, I still watch Sesame street for that's the only place i could see Oscar's pet, the pet that will never die

Pets can be nice companions for children, but it's always a depressing episode when the pet dies. Do you think you want a pet, maybe a relatively low maintenance one like Gazpacho's tortoise Max?

Hahaha, yeah, my pet is extremely low maintenance. I forgot to feed him so many times and he's still hanging around. Plus he hibernates during winter. A couple months free of any reponsibility. My friend said I'm the worst pet owner ever. But what's wrong being lazy and still wanting a pet?
