Alien Pet has been named! Thank you to Stephanie (from Facebook) and everyone else who chimed in.

"Free," the sign said.
I stepped closer to read.
"One alien pet,
the best of the breed."
"Part monkey, part lion,
as tame as a goat.
Smells sweet like a flower
with a tan spotted coat."
"He'll fetch and roll-over
and sit on your knee..."
My heart beat in excitement.
He belonged with me.
He followed me home.
He purred all the way.
I whispered in his ear,
"This is our lucky day."
