What is your favorite pet?

A ssembled and photos by Carly Knutson and Rheannan Bills

“My dog Angel is my favorite pet because she’s always so playful and loving.”

“(Sophomore) Izzy Curry’s dog is my favorite, because it always greets me when I pick her up.”

“My favorite pet would be a tiger because they are so majestic.”

“My favorite pets are cats because they show me how to be a strong, independent woman.”

“Dogs are my favorite pets because you can take them hunting.”

Plan ahead to make open houses a blast May is approaching, and that means the season of open houses is about to get under way. As a senior this year and part of the graduating class of 2016, it is getting a little overwhelming (but exciting) thinking of all the open houses I have to attend this year— not to mention the one I have to host! If you have never done the “open house circuit” before, it might seem that these Hear me. . . parties thrown all around town for friends and family are relaxing Maddie Wiley and laid back. The truth is they are usually stressful and exhausting! On some jam-packed Saturday’s as the year winds down you might have a list of 20 or 30 open houses that you need to attend, and it seems nearly impossible that

you could actually make every single one—but I have some tips for you. First off, make a list in chronological order of the parties for that day and their addresses. Choose which order to attend them in based on location and time frame. Second, share this intelligence and carpool with your friends. Attending together makes the commuting more enjoyable and the navigating easier. Third, don’t eat at every single one! Wait for something that really appeals to you, and ingest small portions when you do eat. Although I am making these open houses sound tortious, in fact they almost always end up being a blast—you get to spend some time with good friends and are guaranteed to consume plenty of walking tacos, pulled pork sandwiches and cupcakes. Just know that after a day full of open houses and eating an unrealistic amount of food, a food coma will most definitely follow, so pace yourself! Senior Maddie Wiley loves open houses with breakfast foods and cupcakes.

‘Dory’ could impact tropical fish By Paul Brinkmann Orlando Sentinel (TNS) ORLANDO, Fla. — Animal welfare activists and pet shop owners fear a wave of interest in tropical fish and the possible decimation of key species after the June release of Disney Pixar’s “Finding Dory.”

Your green world

The cartoon movie is a sequel to 2003’s “Finding Nemo,” which had prompted a surge of cute orange clownfish being caught in the wild and sold at pet stores. Many parents and children, inexperienced with saltwater aquariums, bought a little Nemo fish and watched it die. The new movie includes the return of absent-minded Dory, a cartoon version of a Pacific blue tang voiced by Ellen DeGeneres. “I think we are facing the same problem, and it’s even worse because the blue tang is really unsuitable for a home aquarium animal,” said Teresa Telecky, director of wildlife at Humane Society International. “Blue tang live up to 50 years and get big, over a foot long, which would require a 180-gallon aquarium, the size of a couch.” Telecky said the Humane Society has asked to talk with Disney about the movie and its impact on the marine pet trade. Other groups such at the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are urging families to buy plush-toy versions of Dory instead of the real thing. Disney didn’t provide answers to specific questions about its plans, but a spokeswoman said in an email that Disney’s conservation team is working with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums on a program to support tang conservation. The company also said it is preparing educational materials “discouraging personal ownership of blue tangs.”
