Tuesday, April 14th, 2009YouPet.com, it’s like facebook for your pets
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009I love the internet. Between facebook, netflix, and hulu I find most of my daily entertainment online. My latest infatuation, however, is with youpet.com. In short it’s a myspace or facebook for your pets.
You sign up for free, then create a profile for your pet(s). You select the type of animal, it’s breed and then type in some of your pet’s favorite things along with a short statement about them. Upload the optional pic and next thing you know your pet has entered the world of social networks.
Of course, you may be asking yourself, “Why on Earth would I bother with that?” I honestly don’t have a good answer. In fact, I don’t have a good answer for why I enjoy half of the things I do online. I just accept it and enjoy.
Specifically, I am obsessed with earning Chiba the title of “Cutest Pet”. So, when you join youpet make sure that search for Chiba and make him your friend. Also, I really like the “Guess the Animal Challenge”. Despite my lack of knowledge regarding dog breeds I think I’m pretty good at it.
So, if you love your dog, cat, hamster or rat, you should take a few minutes to set them up with a page on youpet. It’s free, it’s easy, and most of all it’s actually kind of fun.
An introduction to Sammy the Savannah Monitor
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009I first found out about Sammy in an email. His original owner (we’ll call him Dave) had bought Sammy at a pet store but then things changed and there was no room for a lizard in Dave’s new life. He put Sammy in an aquarium and set him on his roommate’s bed. Then Dave loaded his car, moved out and was never heard from again. The roommate, who has many snakes, just didn’t have a place for the baby lizard. That’s when I got the email.
Sammy’s history made it so that he came to us without having enough human interaction. This lack of contact has made Sammy wary of us. In his eyes we are giants who only seem interested in picking him up with our huge paws and sticking our gigantic faces in front of him.
Right now Sammy is still a very young. We missed out on the critical first few months of his life, but his is still young enough that we can hopefully tame him. Luckily Sammy is still this young because if he were fully grown he would be about 4 feet long. That would be just too much angry lizard to wrestle with.
It is unfortunate that Dave purchased a pet that he could not care for the 10 – 15 years that a savannah monitor normally lives. However, we are glad that he did the right thing and turned Sammy over to his more responsible roommate. We are further grateful that the roommate recognized that he couldn’t provide for all of Sammy’s needs and contacted us before it was too late. We are pleased to welcome Sammy into the Creature Program and hope that he has a long life with us, helping to educate the public about the needs and proper care of exotic pets.
