How to Have Your Own Pet Rock

Anyone can pick up a rock and claim it for a pet. But, to truly make a pet rock your own, there are some things you will need to do. After all, you want your pet rock to feel special and loved. You want him to know that he belongs to just you.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Give your pet rock a special name and make sure it is gender specific. It would be a tragedy to name your rock “Daisy” only to find out that she is actually a boy!
2. Once you have named your rock, its time to wash her cares away. Give your pet rock a bath to let her know that she is loved. Be sure to dry her thoroughly so she doesn’t get a chill.
3. Make a temporary home for your rock until you decide what type of house you will build for her.
4. Decide how you will decorate or dress your pet rock. Make sure you know what type of personality she has. If your pet rock is very serious or a deep thinker, she may prefer to be decorated or painted in darker apparel and accessories. If your pet rock is bubbly and outgoing, she would probably prefer bright and lively colors.
5. Talk to your pet rock and take her seriously. Tell her your hopes and dreams and find out hers in return.
6. Take your pet rock with you wherever you go. She will enjoy a change of scenery and meeting new people. If you cannot take your pet rock with you, be sure that she is left with someone who is responsible and loving. Reassure her that while you may go away, you will always return.
7. Make sure your pet rock is kept in a safe location. It would be dreadful if she was rock-napped or thrown away!
8. Don’t go a day without petting your pet rock.
