How to care for your pet
Steps

Things You'll Need
- Find a Pet Rock. Go outside and look for a nice, round rock. If you look hard enough and in the right area, you should be able to find a rock. If you like shiny decorative rocks in different colors, dollar stores or pet stores have many medium sized fish tank rocks.
- Bring it home and give it a nice warm bath in the sink or a plastic cup. Wash the rock in warm water with soap to remove any bacteria that may be harmful to you or your rock.
- Determine if your rock is a boy or a girl. Get a washable marker and put a heart on one side and a star on the other. Go to a soft place like the bed or a sofa and throw it above the soft place. Do this 3 times. If it lands on a heart most of the times, it's a girl. If it lands on the star mostly, it's a boy.
- Name your rock. Names like "Rocky" are very obvious and well used names, but there is nothing wrong with them.
- Create a Home for Your Pet Rock. Get a shoe box or other small box. Lay down felt and glue it to the bottom of the box. Find a small bowl that your rock will fit in. Lay cotton ball down in it and lay a napkin or tissue over it and tuck the sides in. Get a small lid and lay it upside down and now your pet rock has a place to go to the bathroom. Make a cardboard TV and slide a magazine picture in it for your rock's entertainment. Cut holes in the box and glue a piece clear plastic over them for windows.
- Spend time with your rock. When you go on MSN, take your rock. When you go to bed, take your rock.
- Buy your rock a cheap carrying case and take it with you wherever you go.
- Introduce your rock to your friends. They may look at you as if you are crazy at first, but soon enough they will love your rock as much as you do.
- Take pictures of your rock in special places.
Tips
- Most rocks are fans of Rock Music.
- To make your rock smell nice, spray it with cheap cologne or rub it with cheap scented lotion everyday.
- If you feel your rock is lonely, give it a family.
- Remember its birthday and celebrate it. Give it a birthday gift--something nice.
- Rocks can be great family heirlooms. They live forever (if taken care of) and can be passed down from generations.
- Rocks don't need to be fed. That is the beauty of a rock.
Warnings
- Small rocks are good for people who take care of their possessions, but if you are careless, get a larger rock.
