Our foster pet

 We got a new pet! Temporary pet, that is. A friend of ours went away for the holidays so we are helping them look after their pet fish. Meet Pinky.

 I've got to say, our first pet didn't fare so well. It was a caterpillar Hazzy discovered that he wanted to bring home. He lovingly named him Stripy. Just like the Very Hungry Caterpillar book, our Stripy ate a lot. He munched away the lettuce we put in his jar until there was barely any left. But then the book didn't mention how much he would poop after that. We had to clean out the jar the very next day. Anyhow, the active caterpillar then suddenly stopped moving the next day, then turned into a white cocoon. We waited and waited. But after nearly three weeks of inaction, we had to accept that Stripy wasn't destined to fly.

 But we have high hopes for Pinky. Today Hazzy discovered that fish sleep! Maybe I can find some type of Lapbook about fish that Hazzy could work on while we have Pinky. Hopefully I can share that with you all soon.
