Class Pet

Owen's class has a class pet and each of the students got to take turns bringing the class pet home. At first, I was not okay with this because I didn't want to have to take care of a pet, then I remembered when Gabbi did the same thing and the class pet was a stuffed animal.

When Owen got home from school, he was so excited. He had so much planned for him and Shenzi. I wasn't sure he'd get through all that he had planned, but he did have the whole weekend, and I told him as long as he was careful with her, I didn't care what he did.

They shared some doughnuts, they shared his soda pop, he watched movies with her, and he even had her help him make his Mickey Mouse cookie. When the weekend was over, he had to write down in the journal all that they did. When he was done writing about it, we printed off some pictures to go with it.

He was so sad that his weekend was over. He didn't want to say goodbye to Shenzi. The only thing that turned it around was the thought that he might be able to bring him home again.
