Perfect Petzzz Writing Contest

My Perfect Pet has always felt like it was real. For the first month that I had him he slept right beside me in my bed. But after waking up one morning and finding my poor little Boe on the floor!!! I decided to make him his own room in my closet.

I got a big box and decorated it just for him. Then I took my allowance I got him a actual dog brush and a bed. He was and still is my best bud.

I got him because my father is allergic to animals. After seeing how good I took care of Boe, my dad decided it was time for me to get a hamster. She's my baby girl but my best boy is still Boe.

My faithful Border Collie. I shall never get rid of him and when I die, no matter how beaten up he will be I will hand him down to my child and so on and so forth. I hope I win so I can get the $100 to buy my little baby more things he needs. And I'd like to thank all the people that helped me make my little Boe.

Showing my parents I was ready.

It was Christmas day when I got Max, my beautiful Chocolate Labrador. I asked my nan for one when we were in Romford, I told her I wanted to prove to my mum I was ready for a dog!

So on Christmas day I sat in my nans chair waiting on the great gifts she had bought me, I went through loads, some of which I asked for and others came to a surprise.

I had unwrapped all the gifts she got me, but none of them were the Chocolate Labrador I had asked for, I was devastated! Out came my granddad with a box that is used to carry animals in, my mouth fell open, I was so happy! I couldn't wait to see what was inside the box.

The box was placed on my lap, I carefully opened one of the handles and peeked inside, I saw something, I didn't know what it was. It was small, curled up, its stomach was moving! I got excited and opened the box more, I found the one present I had asked for!

It was the perfect pet!

I took him home and registered him on the web site then I got him out of the box, I placed him on my bed, as he was asleep, to make sure he didn't get too cold I placed a blanket over his tiny body.

I read the manual that came with max, and it said he was shy so he would only come out at night; I respected that, so before I went to bed I left a small bowl of food, and a small bowl of water for him to eat and drink when he felt ready.

I knew he would want to go to the toilet, but I also knew my mum didn't want me to leave the door open all night, so I put him in the garden during the day, I made sure no one was looking, including me and I let him do his business.

A few months past, and my mum began to see how responsible I was being with my new do, I bought him things, such as bandanas, blankets, beds etc. My mum thought I was being so responsible she bought me a real dog!

Her name is Teardrop, she is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and I love her to bits. Her and Max are the best of friends, and my nan even lets me look after four of her dogs! I am so thankful to Perfect Petzzz, they really are perfect!
