Description

The listing, Well trained pet rock has ended.

The winner of this auction will win one very well trained pet rock. I found a pack of strays in my front driveway not far from the road. Fearing they would be hit by a car I took them in and found them quite intelligent and friendly, but due to city code I am not allowed to keep so many pets without a kennel licence. Most pet rocks require both a crate and bedding, but these guys are trained so well they need neither! No crate necessary because they NEVER chase cars, animals, or even the mailman! No bedding to keep clean as these rocks are 100% house trained and have NEVER wet in my house! But, to be fair, I must ask that you do not bid if you are looking for a high-energy pet. Despite being highly intelligent, I have never once got these guys to perform a trick on command (besides "stay," they are very good at that one) and they HATE going for walks (they must've been traumatized from their time in my driveway as they refuse to step outside on a lead.) I must limit each winner to one as I cannot seem to tell males from females I am sure you don't want a litter of cinders! These little guys are free (shipping provided) to good homes ONLY! If you think this auction is silly, simply do not bid. *Pictured are Bob, Tom, Slim and Frank in photo one, and Lou, the homebody of the bunch, in photo two*

Questions & Comments

OMG ! I miss my old pet rock " Socretes '. I wonder if these are any relation :)

I put up "found pet" signs when I took these guys in but wasnt contacted by any breeders and they do appear to be of different breeds. I dont think that if they did come from breeders they were very reputable ones. Either way, i find it comforting to think that they may have escaped a gravel pit!

My concert rock was stolen and I have been devastated ever since. I wud love to get get Frank (the one leaning on the right). I will take REAL GOOD care of it!!!!

Mar 16th, 2015 at 1:20:39 PM PDT by

Frank loves music. His favorite is ROCK!

Mar 17th, 2015 at 1:18:19 AM PDT by

Please let me know...My cats turn everything into toys....My dog is a German Sheppard/ Boxer Mix...and drops things fairly easily when told too, so I might be OK with him.

I'm writing this from my friends house right now and her cats are jerks. Tenma and Freya (those are their names) are a male and female kitty of average size and temperament and have been having a great time batting these poor abused rocks all over the place! The rocks don't seem to mind, but I'm keeping an eye out in case they display any aggression.

Mar 22nd, 2015 at 10:09:17 AM PDT by

Breeders like myself like to keep certain breeds strong and kept their genes strong.

Mar 16th, 2015 at 9:06:15 AM PDT by

Nothin worse than a mutt! I assure you, while I don't have their pedigrees any reputable geologist can verify these are "purebred" minerals!!!

A very amusing auction!!! LOL Have you every done stand up comedy? My hubby and I were pretty sure we were not going to get another cat because we were very sad losing them when they cross the rainbow bridge. We are getting tired of the responsibility of pets that need stuff like food and vet care etc. We were sure we were just going to get a pet rock. We were fine for 9 months and then we broke down and rescued a cat. She "WAFFLES" is quite the handful. She meows all day, wants patting several times each day etc. I assume the Rocks don't need petting or vet care and they probably don't scratch the furniture do they. Do they act crazy are they cute, are they funny. The laughter and joy a cat brings is what did it. Oh well another 15 years and we will get a rock. Thank you for the laughter...really!!!

Mar 22nd, 2015 at 3:53:19 PM PDT by

I wanted very badly to auction off a pet boulder, but shipping would be too much and I like that you can take pet rocks with you on vacation (not something you can do with larger breeds!) To answer your question I've never done stand up comedy (and aren't really considered a funny person, either!) If anything I'm just kooky and weird!

Mar 24th, 2015 at 7:43:40 AM PDT by

Oh my goodness that made me laugh to think of a dog getting upset a rock wont bounce haha! Thank you for making me chuckle!

Mar 17th, 2015 at 11:47:04 AM PDT by

I wish there was a way to share videos or pics in the comments. It is the funniest thing when my dog tries to jump on the rocks with both front feet together in an effort to get them to squeek like his favorite ball!

Mar 19th, 2015 at 10:14:12 AM PDT by

To cute! I remember having a pet rock when I was young! It was great!

Mar 23rd, 2015 at 2:13:17 PM PDT by

thanks sarasbaking! Love your profile pic! Is it weird that I save ribbons from my birthday/christmas gifts to wear in my hair?

Mar 24th, 2015 at 7:45:50 AM PDT by

The best part that i like about this is No bedding to keep clean as these rocks are 100% house trained

Mar 16th, 2015 at 7:43:26 PM PDT by

I was hoping to find some of those old green plastic baskets that stawberries used to come in but I guess they dont sell them that way any more. Those would make a great crate/cage.

Mar 17th, 2015 at 1:25:52 AM PDT by

I can't get my pet rock to stop pooping in the house. Any suggestions on housebreaking it?

Mar 16th, 2015 at 8:05:47 PM PDT by

Do not yell at or threaten your pet rock in any way.especially when wearing a half open robe, with curlers in your hair and half a beer in your hand at three in the morning. It has no effect on the behavior and your neighbors will think you are crazy. Also, it has been brought to my attention by a geologist that rocks do not poop and those are probably raisins. However, DO NOT TASTE THEM, there are many small animals that do leave little turds that look alot like raisins! I have made this mistake before!

Mar 17th, 2015 at 1:31:10 AM PDT by

What a great auction, love the FUN finally someone to break the madness that's been taking over lately lol. I wonder if this pet rock will get along well with our new cat??

Mar 17th, 2015 at 5:10:11 AM PDT by

These rocks are fairly large...Tom, the largest is 4" around. Too big for a cat to play with, but not so big as to injure the cat or small enough to be injured BY the cat!

Mar 19th, 2015 at 10:12:25 AM PDT by

Amazingly cute to have pet rocks! Wonder why my daughter never mentioned them even though she has a ton in her room!!

Mar 20th, 2015 at 11:57:56 AM PDT by

be careful the city doesn't find out!!! most counties limit the number of pets in a household and you could be charged with animal (mineral) hoarding, lol!

Mar 22nd, 2015 at 10:12:11 AM PDT by

This is hilarious :D

Mar 21st, 2015 at 11:41:04 AM PDT by

thanks! I love bracelets so I fanned you!

Mar 22nd, 2015 at 10:12:48 AM PDT by

I have the same question as someone above me...I have cats....well, I also have a dog...Would the Pet rock get along with them? I'd hate for anything to happen to the Lil guy!!

Mar 17th, 2015 at 7:18:33 PM PDT by

I'll let you know each of their sizes. Tom is 4" around, Bob is 2.5x4, Lou is also 4", frank is 3", and Slim is 1.5 around and 2.5" long. My dog, Logan, is a large German Shepherd, so we make him drop them if he picks em up for fear that he'll choke. I can't imagine any problem with cats but I'm going to my friend's house this weekend and she has cats so I'll bring them along and see how they do.

Mar 19th, 2015 at 10:27:33 AM PDT by

Its funny how u just stuck googly eyes on rocks and ur gonna get a lotta bids, thats awesome.fanned and watching!

Mar 16th, 2015 at 5:06:48 PM PDT by

I would not recommend sticking googly eyes on ANY of your household pets! ...with the exception of the dog as dogs are silly and like things like that

Mar 17th, 2015 at 1:24:04 AM PDT by

I really want this

Mar 23rd, 2015 at 4:49:56 PM PDT by

I will be doing this again until they all find homes! Good luck!

Mar 24th, 2015 at 7:46:43 AM PDT by

I always wanted a well trained pet rock

Mar 16th, 2015 at 12:01:55 PM PDT by

I had one as a child until he jumped out of ny hands and broke the bedroom mirror. I guess my brother and I shouldnt have tossed him like that. He was a very energetic rock.

Mar 17th, 2015 at 1:16:33 AM PDT by

These pets are very adorable and I am bidding a lot I miss my old companion mr stick and my old childhood freind moldy berry so when I saw a well trained pet rock all of my memmorys came flooding back to my mind :)

Mar 24th, 2015 at 2:42:40 AM PDT by

remember "log" from Ren and Stimpy? If not, look up "The Log Song-Ren & Stimpy" it will give you a nostalgic laugh!

Mar 24th, 2015 at 7:50:20 AM PDT by

What a cute auction! A Pet rock lol! Great idea!

Mar 16th, 2015 at 9:45:34 AM PDT by

I wish I could keep them all! They dont eat much...actually, they dont eat at all

Mar 17th, 2015 at 1:12:21 AM PDT by

Lmao.

Mar 16th, 2015 at 8:59:38 AM PDT by

help reduce the stone population: spay and neuter your rocks

Mar 16th, 2015 at 9:05:19 AM PDT by

LOL. This is brilliant!!

Mar 22nd, 2015 at 10:02:31 PM PDT by

Thank you dwhit! Love your pin auctions!

Mar 24th, 2015 at 7:44:38 AM PDT by

Hey aren't we all a little weird? I don't want to be "NORMAL" whatever that is!

Mar 19th, 2015 at 11:16:50 AM PDT by

Lmfao

Mar 20th, 2015 at 9:48:42 AM PDT by

That's pretty cute !

Mar 16th, 2015 at 8:58:49 AM PDT by

I bet it is! LOL I can imagine watching a dog collect rocks!

Mar 19th, 2015 at 11:05:31 AM PDT by

He's weird. But so am I!

Mar 19th, 2015 at 11:08:36 AM PDT by

Depending on the dog , the dog may try to c"mark" his territory. Cats may tap it around some. Adjustment blues. I take in any stray pet rocks. .O:-) =-O. :-P

Mar 17th, 2015 at 8:12:43 PM PDT by

I think that marking would only be a problem with unwashed rocks. These guys took a long soapy bath when they came in from the outside followed by periodic showers when my pup decides to give them kisses.

Mar 19th, 2015 at 10:28:54 AM PDT by

this is awesome i never had a pet rock

Mar 17th, 2015 at 9:43:08 AM PDT by

I will continue to auction these guys off until they all have homes

Mar 19th, 2015 at 10:12:58 AM PDT by

Actually if there is a way to obtain Lou as a companion for Frank I would b thrilled!!!! ;-))

Mar 16th, 2015 at 1:27:53 PM PDT by

If you win I will see if they dont mind coming to you in the same box. I cannot, however, be held responsible for any "accidents" as I am unable to tell the sex of these rocks and they may mate while in transit! Luckily as of yet ive seen no agession to indicate males vying for the attentions of the remales, so they may all be of the same sex

Mar 17th, 2015 at 1:22:13 AM PDT by

Each of them are so charming. I have never been able to teach mine to keep their little ones outside! Maybe they could learn from a well trained rock =)

Mar 16th, 2015 at 10:09:32 AM PDT by

My german shepherd befriends rocks on his walkies and brings them inside. They dont seem to mind being in his mouth but I dont know how they tolerate being tossed about. The best part is when he gets angry that they dont bounce like a ball!

Mar 17th, 2015 at 1:14:40 AM PDT by

Fanned you!!

Mar 24th, 2015 at 5:35:18 PM PDT by

Omg...I soooo remember these! (Wow, I just dated myself) Great idea :)
