Pet Care.
By Ike
Every morning I do the same jobs.
I get up and have breakfast first and then get
dressed.
My jobs mainly have to do with pet care.
We have five
big dogs, four are pig hunting
dogs and one little dog called Peggy, a mini foxy x Chihuahua. They are two male dogs and three girl
dogs.
The dogs are called: Willow, Push, Cherry, Bow and
Nod.
Willow is too young to go hunting.
Push is my main dog, she is a really good dog and is
the leader of the pack.
Cherry is my Dad and brother Chase’s dog.
Bow and Nod are the other boy dogs. Plus Peggy, who
mainly hangs around the house.
It is my job to feed them every morning and
night.
They eat dog food pellets.
We buy our food
from Farmlands in big sacks.
When we get home we put the dog food in a massive blue
drum which is nearly as big as me.
I use a paua shell scoop to get the food out.
The other thing I do is make sure the dogs get enough water.
I also have to run the dogs every morning and
sometimes have to run the girl dogs separately.
They also get let off to run about the property for a
few hours and then I put them back in the kennels. Peggy is a bit spoiled because she gets the
run of the house.
Sometimes the dogs howl, I don’t know why they do that, maybe they
hear something.
The dogs are excellent guard dogs as they let you know
when someone is coming onto our property.
I also have 2 axolotls. Their names are Ghost, because
he is white and the other axolotl is called Bronzo, from my favourite youtube
video about Minecraft. They get fed worms, sometimes meat scraps and axolotl
food.
The axolotls have their own tank, otherwise they might
eat the other fish.
We also have a
nice tank, with two goldfish called Jeffry and Mark. They get fed fish
food.
It is also my job to clean both tanks, they sometimes
get slimy.
We have a cool suction light thing and it sucks the rocks
half way up and cleans off the slime. It
is like a fish tank vacuum cleaner.
I help to look after the goats and their babies. I
feed them hay and food scraps and give the babies lots of cuddles!
Recently our goat chocolate chip had a kid.
It was a girl she is very cute I’m going to name her
Biscuit. I always get to name the baby goats.
I kind of like doing all the pet care, it is fun.
I really love my pets.
