I sure did when I was little, and I think it was because children of my generation used our imaginations more than those today (no offense, it's totally true though.) Tomorrow, September 7 2014, is National Pet Rock Day!
The pet rock became a fad in the 70's when it flourished as a great marketing ploy for people to buy as a 'pet'. The great thing was, it even came with a remarkable and witty little owner's manual, detailing ways to take care of your new little pet.
Pet Rock Instruction Manual
Food
Most pet rock owners, though not intending to harm them, do not feed their pet rocks. Contrary to popular belief, pet rocks do need food to live a content life. You can feed your pet rock a few drops of water, some dirt, or even a drop or two of oil. To feed your pet, simply rub food onto the rock until it is soaked up, or falls off.
Bathing
Bathing your pet rock is essential to the health of your small companion. To bathe your rock, you must first fill a small container with water. Make sure this container has a lid. Then, drop a large amount of dish soap into the water. Next, place your pet rock into the container. Place the lid on the container and secure firmly. Shake the container vigorously until you feel that your pet rock is clean. Then, remove your rock from the container and hold under running water to rinse.
Tricks
Teaching your pet rock to do tricks not only benefits your pet rock, but can also be very entertaining to you, and your friends and family. Below are some of the most basic tricks a pet rock can learn.
Sit: To teach your pet rock to sit, start by placing it on the ground. Next, tell it to "sit." You will be surprised, as well as satisfied when you find that your pet rock remains in a sitting position on the ground.
Stay: First, have your pet rock sit. Then, use the command "stay" while holding up your hand with your palm facing your pet rock. Walk away, keeping an eye on you pet rock. Amazingly, your pet rock will be in the same spot when you come back, no matter how long you leave it there.
Attack: Pick up your rock (depending on which hand you usually use for writing) and use the command "attack." Then, throw your pet rock at the person you want it to attack. Your pet rock will improve on this trick as you improve on aim and speed in your throw.
Health
It is truly a terrible thing when you find out that your pet rock is sick. To prevent this, make sure you keep your rock clean, feed your pet regularly, and take them to the vet's office at least once a year. Although you may get strange stares, do not be alarmed. Most veterinarians do not like pet rocks, as they "aren't as interactive as other pets", which is not true for all pet rocks. If you take care of your pet rock correctly, they can make an exceptional pet. It is not necessary for your pet rock to receive vaccinations because they have an extraordinary immune systems that some say is "rock hard." Pet rocks rarely get fleas, and never get worms.
Enjoy!
Pet rocks can make great pets for those who have allergies, or tight budgets. They are good listeners, and learn tricks easily. Even small children can take care of them with ease, although adult supervision is advised if the pet is small enough to swallow. Pet rocks never die, because of which, they can be your soul-mate until the day you die.
