This is sharkis reporting about the Pound Pets. This
is not a story "Don't leave the pets; Care for them; The ones who leave
pets in the Pound are bad" etc. Let's think how does the owner feel. Here
are some answers. The names are changed, thought, so none of the owners
or pets could be mad about him/her. I know some people who have left their
pets at the pound. Why did they do it? Where they happy with it? I am
giving questionnaires to some pet owners and you'll see what they think…

We can now make the findings.
1) 2 out of 4 owners left pets because of the money
2) 2 out of 4 owners were unhappy to leave their pets, 1 was not sure
3) 4 out of 4 owners have pets again
4) 2 out of 4 owners would leave the pets again, 1 is not sure
5) 2 out of 4 owners have good financial conditions, 1 kept it a secret
6) The mostly left pet out of these is Pteri, left 2 times by different
owners
Which one are you? And, for the end, here's a little
quiz.
How many chances are there that you'll leave your pets
at the Pound?
1. Your pet whispers: "I'd like that new keychain featuring
a pet of my species. Could I have it?". Your money's tight. What do you
answer?
a) "Pipe down, if you want it, buy it yourself, I'm not
your parent"
b) "Dear [pet's name], right now I don't have enough money, but I promise
you, I'll do anything to get it and then we'll see"
c) "Of course, you won't eat a few days, but you'll get it. Let's go now!"
2. Your pet doesn't eat a full meal. He leaves something…
you say:
a) "You dumb thing! I paid for it, and if you won't eat
it, you'll stay in the Pound forever"
b) "If you really don't want it, you don't have to eat it. But please,
don't ask for food for two hours, OK? You'll be bloated then…"
c) "You don't have to eat it. Do you want some sweets? Candy? Pizza? Ice
cream?"
3. What games do you play with your pet?
a) I don't play with that stupid creature. If it want
to, he'd better find another owner.
b) The ones he/she likes. We play lots games, not for Neopoints, just
for fun!
c) All and every. I think he/she likes it.
4. Your pet doesn't clean his or her room on Saturday.
You…
a)shout at him/her and don't give him or her anything
to eat all week
b)help him or her clean the room
c)clean the room yourself
5. The thought that is in your head right now about the
Pound:
a) my [your pet's species] will stay there for a long
long time
b) I wonder, are there any nice pets to adopt? I wouldn't leave my pet
and I want to save someone's life…
c) My [species] won't be seeing it ever….
Which answers are repeated mostly?
(((a))) Aren't your pets at the Pound yet? I think they are, because there
are 99 chances out of 100, that this week they'll visit the Pound. Spend
a little bit more time with your pet and remember, that NeoPets is supposed
to be fun!
(((b))) You're an ideal owner! You prepare your pets for a rough life,
because you know, that anything could happen. Everything's OK, your pets
are happy and taken care of.
(((c))) You think you're the best owner in Neopia, probably your pets
think so too. But what are you going to do if you leave NeoPets (let's
hope that won't happen)? Your pets are not prepared for that. Sometimes
don't let your NeoPets stand on your head. They have to learn something
themselves…
I hope you enjoyed this pretty long article. Hope to
give you something to read again. I'd like to say: please Neomail any
comments to sharkis. Good night, Lupes and Grundomen.
