Pet Rocks were a 1970s fad conceived in Los Gatos, California by advertising executive Gary Dahl. ContentsDevelopmentIn April 1975, Dahl was in a bar (which is now Beauregard Vineyards Tasting room in Bonny Doon) listening to his friends complain about their pets. This gave him the idea for the perfect "pet": a rock. A rock would not need to be fed, walked, bathed, groomed and would not die, become sick, or be disobedient.

Give them bubble baths, put hats on them, put them in the sun but be sure to turn them so they don't burn on one side, go swimming with them- toss them in and dive after them, make owner registration papers for them, read bedtime stories to them and tuck them in at night, brush their teeth by scrubbing them with a toothbrush and paste, brush them with a hairbrush.

Q. I was thinking about a new portable garden with grass, dirt & flowers. It hints at wanting a female pet rock that's a hooker. I don't know about that, they might wind up with little pebbles in 9 months (or is it longer or shorter time for birth?) Any ideas?
