NEW PET! NEW PET! NEW PET!

So, as you may or may not have read in my title.......I NOW HAVE A NEW PET!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH My life is complete! Okay, so I'll tell you all about him. First of all his name is George Clooney and he is a Pyrrharctia Isabella Caterpillar otherwise known as a "Woolly Bear". He is brown and black, very fuzzy, and extremely cute. One day he will turn into a yellow moth with black specks. That day will be a sad one to let go of my little child-caterpillar. But let's not think about that yet. Here's the story of how we met.

So I was walking home from class, minding my own business. I was walking through the parking lot of my apartment building when I looked down and saw something fuzzy by the curb. I walked past it, but then I decided to go check out the situation. And as it turned out it was GEORGE CLOONEY! So, I broke a stick off of a bush and he climbed right onto it (obviously meaning he loved me too). I got home and was so freaking excited for my new pet!!!!!! So, I made him a comfy home in a spacious 2 BR, 1 Bath tupperware container, with many holes for breathability. I also added some leaves and grass, and of course the comfy stick that he loves. Then Kelsey added a piece of spinach so he would become strong--I think this was a good choice. He's a hungry little guy, and he also poops a lot. Turns out after I did my research to figure out who George really is, I found out what type of caterpillar he is, and many other fun facts about him. His type is born in the fall (he's a BABY! CUTE!) and they hibernate closer to winter then turn into moths in the spring!!!! Also, did you know that if you don't put greens in and there are two caterpillars in a container, then they will turn cannibalistic and EAT EACH OTHER!!! Isn't that crazy?! Right.

So anyways, George Clooney, is my new precious, furry friend and I love him. Here is a picture of not him, but a caterpillar looking quite similar to him (Real pictures of my model caterpillar coming soon):



So besides George Clooney (LOVE), nothing really has been going on. Just school and extracurricular activities, etc. So yeah, hopefully that suits your blogging needs, because that's all I've got. Love ya everybody!

Go out into nature and find a George Clooney for yourself!!!!
