My Pets

These are my pets, I love them very much.

Cocoa the Dog

Cocoa is my oldest pet, and my childhood dog. He's a havanese, and has a heck of a personality. He loves tissues and chocolate, which he pilfers any chance he gets. He hates being alone, and freaks out when anyone in the family leaves the house. Once, he made me carry him over mud, because he didn't want to walk through it. He's very clever, and learns new words very quickly, sometimes without being intentionally taught.

Leo, full name Leonardo De Gecko, is one of my two leopard geckos. He's endearingly stupid, and loves cramming himself between rocks. If I drop a mealworm, and have to fish around in the dirt for it for a minute, he will try to eat the dirt.

Lemon

Lemon is my younger gecko. She's a Snow morph, meaning she was black and white as a baby, and had her yellow come in slowly as she grew. While she was very skittish as a baby, she's become very confident as an adult, and is a skilled hunter. When she gets particularly excited for a cricket, the tip of her tail starts shaking really fast.
