Yea I think I got one as a present way back then. Lol

I hope that you took good care of it so that your rock flourished. 🪨

I never had a pet rock. They were very popular once, in the 1970's.

Charlie Brown did on Halloween.

Well he wasn't happy about getting it instead of candy.

I wouldn't have been happy about a pet rock instead of candy on Halloween or as a birthday present either.

I suppose candy is preferable. Lol

Best to give small pet rocks as presents. This way if the person is unhappy about it and throws it at you it won't hurt as much lol

I once got a small turtle as a present. I liked it so I didn't throw it at anybody. 😛

Unless it's a chocolate edible rock.

The turtle came with a small turtle habitat, with a water area and a land area. He didn't need any special food; he just ate vegetable scraps.

Wow that's pretty cool. Easy to take care of.

Never run across one of those....yet 😛

And not much trouble to clean up after a turtle, too. Just dump the water into the toilet and put in fresh water.

low maintenance unlike Damian 🙂

But a turtle isn't furry. Most people want a furry pet.

Yea not good in terms of the cuddly factor.

I am sure Damian has other benefits. Likely much more playful then a turtle lol.

Oh yes...when Rollins passed away on New Year's Eve 2023 I didn't know if I could get another but yet I knew I had to. And in some ways he is so similar to Rollins but so very different too and I appreciate both parts of him.

Pets have personalities. I am glad you got another pet and let him be him and appreciate him for who he is. 😀
