He was purchased at the Missionette Mall at church for $6 in missionette money. His now proud owners, Alyssa, Emma and Rebekah were actually window shopping for an inflatable hamster at the time of his adoption. The hamster cost $8 and when all their money was counted up, and the total was only $6, he proved to be the most perfect hot pink inflatable dinosaur pet there ever was. They promptly gave him the very manly name of Rex, I think to compensate for his ultra feminine and almost blinding shade of pink skin. Just like the girls, he loves to swim at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
The pool is also where Rex happily takes all his baths. Don't let the bad rap blow up dinosaurs have gotten in the past confuse you, Rex has proven to be a very hygienic pet.
He doesn't even mind being shot in the neck by the kids and their water toys.
This picture has nothing to do with Rex. I just liked it.
Possibly Rex's favorite thing to do in the pool is to back float at the bottom of the slide, just waiting for one of the girls to slide down, dunking him under. Float over to the right a little bit, Buddy, you'll never get splashed hanging out next to the ladder all day.
See, the slide is a very fun place. Everyone enjoys it.
This is probably the most miserable picture I have of Emma. She couldn't get her goggles to fit the way she wanted them to. I'm not sure what Rex had to do with this either, but there must have been something.
Rex is definitely our favorite fake pet yet, at least so far this summer...I'm not sure how we ever managed without him.
