Pet Paragraph

If I had to give my pet to one person in the entire book, I'd give her to Lex. Lex is very determined and NEVER forgets anything, so there'd be no chance of neglect on the pet front. Which is always a nice thing. Also, she never gives up on anything, so even if she did something wrong, she'd fix it and do better next time. That's a good quality in a person looking after a pet, in my opinion.

My Pet...
If I had to give my favorite pet to a character in the book, I would definitely give it to Abby. For one thing, she's not a vampire, so no risk of accidentally killing my dog. Probably. Also, she seems like a good person to take care of a dog, even if she is a bit ditzy. Then again, so am I and I take good care of my pet.

Easy Question #15 - Giving up a pet

Which is why I would give my dog to her :)
