The Best Pet!

I want a pet!

And I want it now!

Well, what do you want?

I dunno…

But I sure don’t want a cow!!

Why not?

A tiny calf is so cute to pat…

It’d give you lots of milkshakes…

How about that?

Na!

I just want a pet…

I’m starting to sweat!

Calm down…

Deep breaths…

Well… how about a puppy or a parrot or a koi?

Are you crazy?

You’re starting to annoy!

But puppies are so cute and cuddly…

A parrot’s so colourful and chatty…

Some golden koi might bring you prosperity…

I don’t care!

I want a pet…

And I want it now!

It has to be cute

But not a cow!

Well… maybe a frisky kitten…

What?

I don’t wanna get clawed and bitten!

Settle down!

You’re acting like a clown!

Remember our trip to the pet shop last week?

Yeah… as if I care!

Just listen…

My eye was caught by a pet so meek…

With an impish smile

She snoozed and dreamt…

She was fluffy with many a spiky quill…

Okay…

Sounds interesting… but still

What can she do?

She could go on adventures… swim… even climb a hill

A perfect match for one like you…

And when your hoglet’s done with it all

She can curl up tightly into a ball!

Author’s Note:

I’ve been wanting to write something for these abandoned photos from Mackenzie Davis’ Ekphrastic challenge a while back.

Inspired by: Donna Fox‘s and Natalie Wilkinson’s excellent photographs.

I’m curious to know the original tales behind Donna‘s and Natalie’s photos.
