Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and I promised that I would do an makala like this. I know that several of wewe have done this for your pets, past and present. This time, I'm doing one of my three dogs. Here it goes.
1. What are your pets' names? Their names are Roxy, River, and Roscoe.
2. What kind of pets are they and what breeds? Roxy is a Staffordshire ng'ombe terrier (a Pit ng'ombe breed). River is a Siberian Husky. Roscoe is a Gerberian Shepsky (German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix).
3. How long have wewe had your pets? I've had Roxy since February 2009, so I've had her for ten whole years. I've had River since late May 2017, so it will be two years in May. I've had Roscoe since October, I think, so it's been four months.
4. How did wewe get your pets? Roxy had to go to a new home, because her owner was moving to a place that didn't allow dogs, so I adopted her. River was rescued from an abusive owner as a puppy. Roscoe's story is similar to Roxy's. The only difference is Roscoe's owner's apartment allowed dogs, but his owner didn't have time for him anymore.
5. How old are your pets? Roxy is ten and a half. She'll be eleven on August 7. River is one and ten months. She'll be two on April 6. Roscoe is almost ten months old. He'll be one on April 28.
6. What are some quirky things about your pets' personalities? Roxy likes lettuce. Most mbwa won't even touch it. River is a relatively quiet dog, even though Siberian Huskies are known for being vocal. She only howls when excited, and she'll occasionally "talk" to me. She never ever barks. Of course, Huskies aren't typically barkers. Roscoe plays dead to get out of doing things he'd rather not do, like going to the vet, but he cannot do it convincingly, because he never stays still. He also has a habit of opening one eye to see if anyone is buying it. Another quirk of Roscoe's is he loves to get in the bathtub au the shower. If you're taking a kuoga au a bath, wewe better keep the bathroom door closed, au Roscoe's coming in.
7. What does your relationship with your pets mean to you? Everything, enough said.
8. What are some of your inayopendelewa past times with your pets? I upendo walking and hiking with my dogs. I also enjoy chilling in the backyard with them.
9. What nicknames do wewe call your pets? I tend to call Roxy "Roxy Loxy". I can't help it. I sometimes call her "Miss Alpha", because she's the alpha of the dogs. I often call River "Little Girl", even though she's not so little anymore. She's actually big in comparison to Roxy, but I've had that nickname for River since she was a puppy. I also call her "Little Sweetheart" and "Rivs". I sometimes tend to call Roscoe "Roscoe Bosco". Most of the time, I call him "Big Goof".
There wewe have it. I hope wewe can take pleasure in learning about my dogs. If wewe didn't enjoy it, please be respectful. If wewe can't do that, then, as my dear friend Paul would say, piss off!
Peace and love,

After a long time of getting bullied, I began to consider self-harm. I confessed this consideration to Zoe and Gavin. Zoe said, "Please don't hurt yourself. It's not the answer." Gavin said, "Zoe's right. If wewe hurt yourself, you'll have to deal with all those scars. Why do wewe want to hurt yourself anyway?" I began to cry. He hugged me and said, "It's all right. wewe can tell me." I talked about all the bullying I was facing. Zoe said, "Alyssa, those bullies are just losers. wewe have family and Marafiki who upendo you." Gavin said, "That's right. wewe don't have to hurt yourself. Any time something is bothering you, tell us." I said, "Okay." Zoe said, "If wewe hurt yourself, wewe won't be the only one who hurts. We'll be hurt, too." I said, "I don't want to hurt wewe all." We shared a group hug. Over the years, I gained some Marafiki and Lost some, too, but I still had Zoe and Gavin. They will be my closest Marafiki until the end of time.
THE END
THE END
