Pete’s Paleo Petshop: Beta is Underway!

A lot’s been going on in the past few months.  I’ve been keeping things pretty quiet so far, but I can’t stand it any longer.  It’s about time we get out of the shell and hatch already!  Now the website is about as naked and ugly as a newly hatched parakeet, but everybody’s gotta start somewhere right?  So I’ll get right to the point and tell you what I’ve been up to around here.

 

  • Lots of critters on the critter page, with pictures!  I still have profiles to update and pictures to add, so come back once a week to see another critter (I’m planning Mondays or Fridays, not sure yet).
  • I have an about page!  I plan on tweaking this to be a “start here” sort of page as I write more blog posts.  How much do you want to know about me anyway?  😛
  • Home page. A peak into the shop.  This picture is a messy placeholder until I can polish it up with shading and all that good stuff.

 

This week’s goal…

  • add another critter profile picture.  I’m thinking something with feathers…can you guess which one it is? 😀

Bonus Question:

Any thoughts on the image above?  Maybe all it needs is some lighting to tie it all together, but what do you think?  I want to represent many critters from many time periods.  🙂

 

Thank you so much for visiting my little corner of the internet.  It really means a lot to me.  🙂

So What is This Anyway?

My dino pet would probably be stegosaurus

Imagine a world where our childhood dreams of owning a pet dinosaur could be real.  A place where any kid could go to the pet store and choose their very own brontosaurus or T-rex.

I am currently writing the first book of a series, which looks through the eyes of children as they go to the shop to see all the dinosaurs and other prehistoric critters available at the shop.  Which critter will they bring home today?  A long-necked giant?  A sharp-toothed guardian to scare away monsters in the closet?  The pet they bring home may surprise you.

If you could choose any dinosaur or other prehistoric critter as a pet, what would it be?  I would love to see your answer in the comments!  Me?  I think a stegosaurus like the picture up there would be awesome.  Steggy’s always been one of my favorites.
