We caught an animal and put him in a jar and named him Ted
Why did you put him in a jar?
My friend couldn't remember his name so I had to label him
I understand that you would want to get a pet for yourself, I also would want to get a pet too! However putting a creature inside a jar and imprisoning them, that may feel very claustrophobic for that creature and may feel very depressed and lonely. if someone would imprison you and would limit your movement, you don't want that for yourself do you?
I feel that it is a great idea and it's better for him
I'm glad you're open to putting Ted in a more suitable environment. Having a pet can be a great way to learn how to be responsible and to form an emotionally rich bond.
