Egyptians Loved their Pets!


And so do we here at the Gandara Bug Academy... so we are asking for your help! We have been studying what life was like in Ancient Egypt and discussing The different kinds of pets... so we are doing a survey... if you could please reply to this post listing the type of pets your family enjoys - all pets from the exotic to the ordinary. We will compile a graph and post it later next week to see what is the most "popular" pet!
Oh, and that is the Goddess Baset
- She was seen as a protector of cats and those who cared for them.

From the Blackmore home, reside two lovely pit bull dogs; Molly and Rooster. Molly is 3 years old, and Rooster is 13 years old. Did you know that for every "dog" year, it represents 7 "people" years? That would make Molly 7x3=21, and Rooster 7x13 = 91!

Numerous miniature frogs
3 cockatiels, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
