Pet Tips/Fun Kids

I'm back!!!

I have 9 fish, 2 snails and 1 cat. I named my fish after my very, very, very, very, very nice neighbors Charlie, Waits, Robin and Laura and their baby Avery. I got the rest later so I haven't named them yet. But anyway, let's get to the tips!

Never go overboard with a tank! If you can handle it, go ahead, but if you just started, go small! Petsmart on South Blvd. is always your friend. If you are dealing with fish, ask for Aisha, Kit or Marshall. Betta fish are the easiest fish ever. You can also put African dwarf frogs and snails with fish.

My cat's name is Cookie Dough. Fresh Step litter rocks. Pounce treats are also awesome. There are cat leashes and if that doesn't work, get a cat stroller. Most cat strollers are expensive, but our neighbor found some just for $34! Cats are most active at night and in the morning so if you have a fat cat, try some play time then.

You might think this is weird but I do boy gymnastics. A very good place if you are interested in boys and girls gymnastics or cheerleading of all ages is International Sports Center. It's right next to New Charlotte church, which is supposed to be a really good church. They are both on Monroe Road in Matthews, NC.

Also Plaza Fiesta is a great and cheap place! It's only $5 a person on school days and $10 a person on weekends. Plaza Fiesta has a huge playground that is very, very, very safe and I think it is 335 feet tall!!! There is an arcade, pizza, birthday parties and only across the street from Carowinds. Carowinds is a great place to go 3-7 times a year. It's very expensive and last year I only went once. It has roller coasters, games, ice cream, Dip'n Dots, cotton candy, hot dogs and pizza!!

Remember every Wednesday and every 15th if it's not up, I should be behind. (Here's a note from my mom, who's my typist: we had technical difficulties with our computer so I am behind this week.)

Hi, my name is Will Marler. I am 8 years old and turning 9 in 8 days.

For those of you who have heard of Charlotte Magazine (which is a very good magazine), my aunt works for them. She is an arts writer.

I love all animals and lost my dog mostly.

When I was at school my mom was walking Betty Grable (my dog), her leash somehow got loose and she attacked another dog and the owner tried to split the dogs apart. Betty accidentally bit the owner and we had to give Betty back to her owner who we got her from.

Portofino's is a great pizza place; in fact, it is the best pizza place I've ever been to!! If you like ham and pineapple, try the white hawaiin pizza!! Of course, if you like tomato sauce, just get plain hawaiian, but try the white pizza if you have not yet. Also right next to Portofino's there is a great coffee shop called Mugs. Mugs has the best, and I mean the best, white chocolate hot chocolate. They make their own whipped cream which, by the way, is the best in the whole world!! Both of these places are delicious and irresistible !!!

And if you want to know more, like how to set up an aquarium, my blog should be up every Wednesday and every 15th there should be a special blog that I'll tell you about next Wednesday.
