PetsMart!

As part of our pet badge, we headed out to PetsMart to learn more about all kinds of animals that can be pets!

First up, we went and saw the kitties.  Miss Summer told us all about how you can adopt a cat and how to take care of them.

The girls fell in love with the cats and wanted to take them all home!

Next, we went and saw the hamsters.

Miss Summer took one out so we could pet it and ask questions.

The girls thought it was pretty cool that they could pet it.

We looked at the guinea pigs too.

Then a dog came running our way and the owner was kind enough to let the girls pet her and show us some tricks.

After that, we looked and learned some about dwarf hamsters. Did you know that they can have 1-23 babies at one time?

Then we moved to the reptiles and lizard section. 

Miss Summer took out a snake for the girls to pet.

And then we got to pet Pascal, a chameleon.  

And even a bearded dragon too.

Then the girls learn about chinchillas.  They come from the Andes Mountains in South America.  They are kind of a mix between a rabbit and a big mouse.

They were pretty interested in the doggy daycare too.  Only a few dogs were running around,

Last but not least, we went and learned about fish.  

I think the girls learned a lot and had a lot of fun.  They did learn that all kinds of pets take a lot of responsibility.
