Consider rescuing a stray rock from a riverbed or a construction site.
Of all the pets you can choose, a pet rock is the most relaxed, well-behaved, and easy-to-care-for option available. There are many "breeds" of rocks from which to choose. Pedigree pet rocks come from the original "bloodline" of the pets introduced by inventor Gary Dahl in 1975. But there are many pet rock varieties that are not pedigrees. The current, politically correct way to adopt a pet rock is to rescue one from its homeless environment, such as a riverbed or a construction site.
Instructions
Adoption, Basic Care and Training
1. Adopting a pet rock requires visiting locations where they tend to congregate and choosing one or purchasing one from a reliable source. Once you choose your pet, give it a quick bath in warm, soapy water and allow it to air dry. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for your pet, so be firm but gentle and let your pet enjoy it.
2. Although your pet rock requires no daily attention and can relax in any environment, you can keep the pet rock in a small box with air holes or you can create a special little house for it.
3. Each pet rock is able from birth to do the following tricks: stay, play dead, wait and sit. With a little help, your pet will also be able to roll over, hold small objects in place, shake, and heel. If you're concerned about accidents, you can place your pet on a piece of newspaper and try to potty-train it but, to be honest, your pet won't quite know what it's expected to do. It will be happy, though, to be sitting on something so interesting.
4. You can enhance your pet rock in a variety of ways. If you're particularly artistic, you can paint some "makeup" on it to enhance its subtle features. You can dress up your pet in any style clothing you wish, but you'll have to tailor its outfits to fit its particular shape and size.
