Kenya's owner's name is Daniel McIlroy. Daniel was born on August 4, 1995 and is now ten years old. His skin is white, and he has brown hair and green-blue eyes.

Daniel lives in Munson, Ohio in a big beautiful house. The house has brown siding and dark brown shutters. He also has a big yard where he likes to play with his friends and brothers.

Daniel has three younger brothers. The first brother is Ben, who is four. The second brother is Patrick, who is two. Finally, the youngest brother, is John Paul, who is six months old. They drive him crazy, but he loves them all.

Baseball, basketball, and football are his favorite sports. When he has free time, Daniel likes to play with his friends, play Xbox, and watch Star Wars. "Family Favorite," "Seven Layer Casserole," rigatoni, and steak are his favorite meals. Daniel hates cheeseburger pie, even though he likes cheeseburgers. Math and Geography are his two favorite subjects. Also, his favorite saints are St. Anthony of Padua, St. Isaac Jogues, St. John Vianney, and St. Francis Xavier, who were all extraordinary saints.


Kenya lives in Munson, Ohio in my back yard. He lives in a nice house that is nineteen feet tall, forty feet in length, and thirty feet in width. It has a black roof and blue siding. In front of the house, there is a high open arch so Kenya can get out. On the top of the arch is Kenya's name painted in green. In the back of the house, there is a comfortable hay bed, and there is a big blue rug on the floor.

Because Kenya lives in my back yard and he is used to the desert, there are two sensors inside the house that change the environment of the house to make Kenya more comfortable. The first sensor is a temperature sensor. Every hour the temperature sensor senses if Kenya is too cold or too hot. Depending on Kenya's temperature, the temperature sensor will raise or lower the temperature of the house. Since Kenya is used to dry air, there is a second sensor which is a humidity sensor. This sensor is used to monitor if he is too humid. If Kenya is feeling too humid, the humidity sensor will suck the humidity out of the air.

Around the house is a big white square gate. There is thirty feet between the house and the gate. On the outside of the gate, there is a dirt track for Kenya to run on. Behind the house and gate, there is a grazing field where Kenya likes to graze.

Inside the gate behind the house, there is a four by five foot pond. Kenya usually drinks the water in this pond, and sometimes he plays in it. In the front of the house, there are two apple trees and one banana, one orange, and one maple tree. There are also two bushes where Kenya likes to dig holes under. Kenya loves it here.


Kenya is a very and nice unique pet. He is an East African Oryx. An oryx is a mammal that is also known as the desert antelope. Kenya is two years old, and he can live up to be twenty years old.

Kenya's good sized body is seven feet in length and four feet tall up to the shoulders. His body is white, and his head is white with thick black stripes and a black nose. His horns, which are straight and curve at the end, are black and are five feet tall. Kenya has two back legs, which are white, and he has two front legs, which are white with thick black stripes. Kenya also has a tail, which is black and two feet long.

Kenya has beautiful hide skin, which is very valuable. His cool looking head and horns can be used by hunters as trophies.

Kenya eats grass, herbs, berries, leaves, fruit, and he drinks water. He is able to sense rainfall from far away and is able to survive in very hot conditions. During the hottest part of the day, he stays in the shade so he does not lose water. When Kenya wants to rest, he will dig shallow holes under trees or shrubs so he can lay in them. Kenya is a very cool and unique pet.


DREAM

One day in the humid South American rainforest, Daniel McIlroy and his family were on vacation. They were on a tour.

"Be careful," said the tour guide in a worried voice. "An animal, called Thomas Junior, which is a Robotic Synthoid Daggersaur, escaped from Materon and took a time machine from the future and transported himself back to our time in South America. He is half animal and half robotic. His animal side has greenish-black scales and spikes, and his robotic side is shiny gray. The last time he ate was ten hours ago. So you better watch out," warned the tour guide, "because Thomas Junior may be hungry!"

"Wow," thought Daniel, "I sure hope I don't run into him!"

While Daniel thought about everything the tour guide said, Daniel accidentally wandered off. When Daniel finally realized that he was wandering off, he could not find his family or the other tourists.

Panicking, Daniel looked for his family. After four hours, he decided to make a camp. He thought, "I'll need some firewood." While he was gathering some firewood, he could not believe his eyes. He saw Thomas Junior, the Robotic Synthoid Daggersaur from Materon!

Daniel dropped his wood and ran for his life, and screamed, "Ahhhhh!!!" When Daniel looked back, Thomas Junior's sharp scary spikes seemed to be getting bigger, and his mouth was wide open. With the help of his thruster jet-pack, Thomas Junior finally caught up to Daniel and grabbed him with his robotic arm. Daniel was scared half to death because he thought Thomas Junior would eat him right away. However, instead of eating Daniel, Thomas Junior gave him a hug.

After Thomas Junior gave Daniel a hug, Thomas Junior seemed happy and helped Daniel find his family. Daniel was still a little scared, but he got over it. While finding his family, Daniel taught Thomas Junior to do tricks like flipping over, how to play sports, and most of all, how not to eat humans.

By the time they found Daniel's family, Daniel liked Thomas Junior so much that his parents let Thomas Junior come home with them.

"Daniel! Daniel! Daniel!" said Ben. "What? Hu?" yawned Daniel. "It's morning," said Ben in a happy voice. "It's morning?" asked Daniel. "Wow was that a weird dream or what?" exclaimed Daniel. "Man am I glad to see you!" said Daniel to Ben as he gave him a hug.
