Our Winner for December, 2011: Emma B., Minneapolis, MN

Hi my name is Emma and I am 12 years old. My pet is an 8-year-old chinchilla named Furfy, and he is the best pet I could ever ask for. We got him when he was 3 from a house that didn’t give much attention to him. We let him run in our basement, but if anyone got near him he would run and hide. Now, 5 years later, he sits on my lap, plays with me, and lets me pet him and kiss him. Furfy is grey and has beautiful coloring. He looks really fat, but his fur is so puffy, he can fit through really small holes! I feed him a healthy diet, and he has a huge wood tunnel that I bought him for his birthday, which he loves very much and plays with every day! Furfy is a great pet, and this is why I love him!

Furfy, the chinchilla

I got the best gift ever on Christmas, my black lab Beckett. When I first met her I nearly exploded! I am a animal lover though and though. I have wanted a pet all my life! Up until I get Beckett I was the only one in my class that didn't have a pet. Having a puppy is hard work. I have to take her out to go potty. Sometimes I have to clean up her accidents, that's not fun but I still love her more than anything else in the world!

My six month old dog name Waffles is one of the cutest little puppies I've ever seen. We adopted Waffles from the animal shelter 4 months ago. I think the reason I love him so much is because he filled the paws of my two dogs that passed away earlier this year. Smokey and Midnight were 13 and 14 years old when they passed away the beginning of this year. I wasn't looking to replace my "boys" but I was looking to continue loving another dog the way I did them. Well I have found the perfect dog for me, my Waffles!

I have three pet chickens that I love very much. Their names are, Sally, Lois, and Judy. I love them because they are funny, silly, and very sweet. Their favorite food is oatmeal with milk!! Thats why I love my sweet chicken pets.

I Love my Siberian Husky because she brings joy to my life . She helps me feel better when i come home from school, and she has inspires me to do so much! Roxy is just such a caring dog. For example when i fell off a horse and got pretty hurt she would comfort me everyday until i felt better. I never thought that Roxy would care for me in that way, it was an amazing feeling to know that she loved me in return.
