Hello again, boys and girls!
You did an AWESOME job on this contest! It was so fun reading what you had to say about your favorite animal.
My kids are helping me with the drawing, so we thought we could tell you something about their favorite animals as well.
CameRon wanted to go first. He has a cat, a basset hound dog, two goats and two pigs of his own. Of course, he isn't sure which is his favorite, but he chose to do a picture with the pigs.
Here are his interesting facts about pigs:
1. Pigs are really very clean animals.
2. When they are born they weigh less than 9 pounds but when full grown they can weigh over 900!
3. When raised around humans, they can become very friendly and you can even train them to go on walks with you like a dog would.
4. Pigs have a great sense of humor! (See below)
Cam drew the name of the first winner. That name is:
Jonathan who is three years old. Here is what Jonathan had to say about his favorite animal, a dog:
Jonathan (age 3):
My favorite animal is Princess (Our dog). Dogs get deaf sometimes like Princess when they get old. Dogs like to play with little boys even when they are old. Dogs are nice.
Congratulations, Jonathan! I have sent your mom an email.
Dusty, my other son, has a dog and two calves all his own. He chose to talk a little about his calves. Here are some things he thinks are fun about these little guys.
1. Cows have four digestive compartments similar to stomachs.
2. A milk cow can give 200,000 glasses of milk in her lifetime.
3. A cow can smell things up to six miles away if the wind is blowing right.
Here are a couple of photos of Dusty and his calves.
Dusty got to draw the name for the second winner:
