If Pets Were People

If Pets Were People

Kaylee Reid, Managing Editor

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be able to talk to your pet? Or if they were human beings? I have 4 chihuahuas and a cat. Three out of four chihuahuas are mine, and the cat is mine. There’s Apollo, Klauss, Diesel, who are mine, and Rusty. My cat’s name is Costco. If Apollo were a human, I think he would be a jock, he acts like he owns the place and likes to bully his brothers. He is highly active and loves to follow me around everywhere I go. He barks at anybody and everybody he hears if they are coming into the house or if he is lying in my room and hears voices. He is very protective of me and barks at anybody who tries to come in my room whenever we are in there. If Klauss were a human, I think he would be a nerd. Klauss is super shy, does not like to be picked up and likes to do his own thing as he pleases. Every time someone runs up to him or tries to pick him up, he lies down. Something unique about Klauss is his eyes, they look like human eyes. If diesel were human, I think he would be a little kid. He is smaller than the rest of them and his ears stick up unlike his brothers. He is a hyper puppy who likes to play fight all the time. He pees when he is scared or when he does not want to be picked up. Diesel and Klauss have underbites that make them look silly. Last but not least is Rusty. Rusty would be an old grumpy man is he was human, even though he is not that old. He does not like to be picked up, likes to bite people’s feet and ankles. He barks at everybody who comes into the house and does not quit until they give him attention. He favors my mom and only lets her mess with him. He likes to sleep until noon and if he does not get enough sleep, he is grumpy for the rest of the day. Costco my cat is just like any other cat. I think he would be about my age if he was a human. He likes to sleep all day and stay up at night. He likes to bully all the dogs. When they are laying in bed, he will attack them from the floor with no reason or warning. He likes to be in my business when I am trying to do schoolwork. Even with all my pet’s differences I love them just the same and I hope they do not magically turn into humans one day because I want them as my pets forever.
