So guys, new project!!! Only our second RL monthly project. So, it's two ideas meshed, was funny because Amy and I's brains were on the same page haha!
So, this month's project is GET TO KNOW YOUR PETS! You might think you know your pooch inside out, but when you think about it..how much do you really know? Do you know your pets favorite treat, favorite toy, and favorite activity? What motivates them? Do they like learning tricks? Do they jump up at the words "walk" and "go"? And this counts every pet...not just dogs or cats. I'm talking guinea pigs, hamsters, even fish
Also, how much do you know about your dogs breed? Have you ever looked up how much exercise that breed needs? Do so, and try to give your dog that amount of exercise, in both walks and playtime(but at least one walk a day, it will be great for both of you!). Of course, keep an eye on your pooch and read his/her body language. Every dog is different, don't overexercise your buddy!
And don't forget about mental exercise! That's just as important as important as physical exercise. And this really isn't just for dogs, people have trained cats, guinea pigs, and even goldfish! I mean, how cool is a dog who gives high-fives, a cat who plays fetch, a guinea pig who spins on command, or a goldfish who plays soccer? Seriously Get creative! If you can't think of anything, youtube cool or unique tricks, you'll probably find some pretty cool stuff
So really...just spend time with your real pets. Post your thread here, and title it "RL Project #2 - Your Name" Try and post every day with what you learned, pictures required(not nessicarly every day, but as often as possible), and we'd love to see videos too! In your main post, be sure to do a "pet profile" with info such as your pets type, breed, age, tricks known, gender, exc. Basically, everything you already know about your pet. And if it's a dog, be sure to include how much exercise the breed needs, or if you know for sure it's more or less than that for your specific pet, but don't cheat and put less just because you're lazy haha XD I'd be tempted to do that, but I won't
Can't wait to see everybody's posts for this project, I'm psyched!
