I know this is kind of late -hides- but when I found out the store pets (well, three of them) are the Jabberwock, Jubjub bird, and Bandersnatch, I immediately thought of a song I learned in District Chorus :lol: now I want to have them, if only because I love that song XD

'Twas brilig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe (as my conductor put it: "It was four PM and the slimy badger creatures were scratching and clawing at themselves" XD; )
All mimsy were the borrogoves and the momeraths, outgrabe!--
"Beware the Jabberwock! My son, the jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!"--
He took his vorpal blade in hand, long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the tumtum tree and stood a while in thought
And as in uffish thought he stood--the Jabberwock with eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood and burrrrrrrrrbled as it came~!
One, two, one, two, and through and through--the vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead and with its head he went gallumphing back~!
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy!--
Oh frabjous day, calooh callay!" He chortled in his joy.
Calooh, calooh callay, oh frabjous day, calooh callay!
Oh fraaabjous day~!
Calooh callay!

Jabberwocky is from Through the Looking-Glass, I didn't know there's a song based on it. Now I want to hear it. :3
My favorite poem. I can recite it from my memory in Polish. <3
Store pets are amazing, especially Jubjub bird.

I just did a quick search, and I just realized there are several versions of this song XD the version I did was very quick; sadly, I don't remember who arranged it D: it was arranged by Carolyn Jennings, so if you want to look that version up (which is now my favorite version compared to the others I'm hearing), you can xD

I love the pets from this month. I would have to say my favorite is the pixel dog litter. Lovely coloring!

I haven't seen anyone else on the site with any. I think tonight's outcome was the last of the rats.

Either that or it's really rare. XD I hope that's not the case though.

Meh. I adopted mine late so I can't have the joy of seeing what they grow into, instead I already know what they'll be :p
