    I can’t stand naming my pets common names like Sally or Joe. Not that they’re bad but, I like to find (or come up with) bizarre names! My decade dragon is Denarius, my citrus dragon is Corky and my stormy dragon is Zephyrus. My newest pet is an alpaca. I named him Hazari. An american name so uncommon, there are only around 459 people in the usa with it. Compared to Joe, (365,113 people) that’s a tiny bit.

    I literally give my pets random names, like my Decade Dragon is named Nala and my ‘Lil Kinz Pig is named Sugar.

    My favorite explorers are my dogs Charlie and Jasper. They are both very curious about everything and I enjoy seeing their reactions to new things. I really like taking them to parks and watching them explore, and having the time of their lives! For me though, I enjoy exploring beautiful parks and caves they have special value to them. ~Spokanegirl7

    Hey Podkinz! I don’t know if I can think of a favorite explorer. The only thing I could say are explorers in books I read just in general. When it think of my favorite place to explore I think of an area at my school that doesn’t have much purpose but me and my friends LOVE to explore in that area. P.S. thanks for doing podkinz! I love listening to it in the morning.

    I choose my pet’s name by looking at it and thinking. What colors, features, and when I look at it what name I think of that pops into my head. If the name doesn’t fit I think of something else. When I got my Rainbow Hedgehog I didn’t know what to name it. I thought since it had lots of “hair”/quills I could name it Rapunzel (She is one of my favorite fairy tale characters) But then I decided to name her Sherbert after all the different colored quills. I named my Decade Dragon Happily. After all we are celebrating a birthday HAPPY Birthday. I was in a Musical where I played a part that had to do with a dragon. And the Musical was called Happily Forever After. For my Mud Hippo I named it HippoMione. After Hermione from Harry Potter. But I left the word hippo in there. The Mud Hippo is the same color as Hermione’s hair.

      We had to write a five paragraph essay about Lewis and Clark in school last week!

    • 1Emerald1 says:

      Yes! Scotland is one of the best places to explore that I have ever visited. All of it, the countryside, the cities, the villages, the castle & abbey ruins, the Highlands….it just keeps getting better. I’ve been there twice & can’t wait to return.
