Animals of the Jaras by Xavier


Hi! I am Xavier if you are reading this you have probably read my sister's blog in which she says that we have a lot of animals. Let me introduce our 42 animals.

First there is Jota, our 150 pound Great Dane, but don't worry he's not a monster. The giant, lovable pooch is sweet, gentle and is afraid of just about everything. He loves you to chase him when he has a stick and you don't, he also loves to jump up and down if you are somewhere he can't get to (like if your on the other side of the fence) which is very intimidating because he is HUGE.

Second, there is Skippy Lu who is a small Pointer mix that was our foster dog last spring. When there was about to be a big adoption event we saw that Jota loved her so much that we had to adopt her. She is very sweet to humans but with other dogs she barks non stop. She plays with Jota rough and Jota loves the attention.

Then there is Zarco. He was our first dog. He is a pure breed Jerland German Shepherd. He is most bonded to my mom. If she leaves the house he will not eat and he will howl to my violin. He loves to be wherever my mom is and loves to be scratched on the back.

After that there is the 4 ferrets Foxy, Bandit, Sky, Bear. They live in Selena's room in a giant cage we made ourselves out of organizer squares. Every time I go in to the room the four of them all crowd my feet and constantly lick them and it tickles like crazy.

We also have two birds. One is a cockatial named Pepe and the other is a parakeet named Pepper. Pepper loves his bell that Selena gave to him a long time ago. Pepe is happy if you whistle the "Bridge over the River Kwai."

Then we have a cat named Emily. She has one eye, the other eye turned into a tumor looking thing and there is am interesting story behind that but we'll tell you about that later. She loves attention and is queen.

We have 25 chickens including 3 roosters. One is named Cow, he is black with a green tint, Pidge is Cow's son and he is kind of white. There is Junior who is also Cow's son and is completely black.

And we have seven ducks that are all very nice and loud.
3+4+2+1+25+7=42 I think?

Sincerely, Xavier Jara

Glad to have found your blog~ very fun to read! Your mom is on the unschooling MN list with me. :)

Thanks for reading! We are really animal crazy people and we love our animals. What kind of animals do you have? Animals do funny things and it is fun to write about them.

I'm sorry I was so slow to respond.

We have 1 dog, a snake and 2 guinea pigs. We'd love to have a cat too but we have lots of allergies. :(

I still haven't blogged about them,, I need to do that. My youngest daughter has taken tons of photos to use. :D

Hi,
Please write something about your animals, we would love to hear about them. And include some photos of them. What are some funny things that they do? Do they make you feel better when you are sad? Do you play with them. I play hide and seek with Jota (our Great Dane) at least every day. But he is not as smart as Skippy Lu in finding me.

Xavier and Ahna

p.s. Xavier might allow a photo of himself pretty soon!
