Bring Your Own Petpet to Work Day



As a writer for the celebrity and pop culture section of The Neopian Times, I, Archibald Grimsley, was excited to hear that it was Bring Your Own Petpet to Work Day. Every evening when I would come home I would tell Giggles, my Rainbow Babyca, all about the important figures I had interviewed and latest trends in Neopia.

Passing through the crowd, we entered the building and I escorted Giggles to my cubicle. “Well, this is it! What do you think?” I asked. “This is where you spend all day? In this drab and boring cube!” Giggles said disgustedly. Ouch. My cubicle isn’t boring! I have a Cheery plant right next to...
