Creature Feature!

Today we are featuring the monster as our creature. He lives far away from any other animals, all alone. He is very scary looking, but actually, he is quite a nice little fellow.

Interviewer (I): What does it feel like when a child looks at you, and they smile?

Monster (M): It makes me want to smile, too. Seeing a kid so happy and realizing that I'm the cause of that gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside that is hard to describe.

I: What do you think about your life now?

M: It is kind of boring, just sitting in a plastic bag all day, but there are lots of other creatures in there, and sometimes we talk about what our lives will be like when we are donated, or we daydream about what it would feel like to get squeezed in a gigantic hug.

I: What are you most looking forward to when you will get donated?

M: I am most looking forward to meeting my owner. I want to find out what they look like, and who they are, and where I am going to live.

Today we are featuring the kangaroo, who lives on the Outback of Australia. She enjoys hopping around all day. From her high vantage points, she has a great view of the city. Our interviewers asked her what it was like to be made.

Interviewer (I): In what specific order were you made?

Kangaroo (K): First my body, then my pouch. Next my head and face, then finally my tail, ears, legs and arms. It felt pretty strange without them, let me just say!

I: Was there ever a point where you got to watch a part of your body being made?

K: I actually witnessed my arms tail, and ears being made. It was kind of cool because my tail was a funny-looking tube until it was sewn on and stuffed.

I: What does it feel like to have something sewn onto you?

K: At first it was a pretty weird sensation, but I eventually got used to it. It sort of feels like there is something stuck in you and you can't get it out. Anyone who's had stitches can relate to this, except it's not as painful, I'm guessing.

I: Thanks for joining us today!

Today we will be featuring the beaver. He loves swimming in the river on hot summer afternoons and collecting sticks for his dam. His best friend is the red beaver who lives just a short swim away.

Interviewer (I): What is the best part about being a beaver?

Beaver (B): Being so big and cuddly. I also really like my flat dark tail. It makes it easy to swim.

I: What was the happiest day of your life?

B: Well, I have two. The first was when I was finished. It felt amazing to finally have a tail and a face, and be stuffed! The other one was when my best friend got donated. When he got picked out of the bag and had a white ribbon tied around his neck, I was so glad for him. I knew he would be the first to be donated.

I: What emotions will be running through you when you get donated?

B: I will be happy that I finally have a home, sad because I will miss all of my friends, and nervous because I don't want to disappoint my new owner.

I: I'm sure you won't disappoint your owner.

B: I hope not.

I: Thanks for your time!

B: You're welcome!
