When your 14-year-old daughter wins a gold medal from the 2024 Olympic Games, you have to do something special to commemorate the occasion. However, skateboarding champion Arisa Trew has a particularly unusual request: a pet duck! It seems that, along with competing in the Olympics, owning one of these water birds has been a long-held dream of hers. Now, it’s about to become a reality! Speaking to the press after her incredible victory, Arisa Trew revealed that she had asked her parents for a pet duck to celebrate. Before winning the women’s park skateboarding event during the Paris Olympics, Trew was already making a name for herself as an athlete. At 13, she became the first woman to perform a 720 in competition at Tony Hawk’s Vert Alert in Salt Lake City. Sky News tells us that, by taking home an Olympic gold medal, she’s making history yet again by becoming the youngest Australian ever to do so. If that doesn’t deserve a duck, we don’t know what does! Thanks to this radio station, Arisa Trew got a preview of duck ownership. Triple M Gold, a radio station from Trew’s home city, Gold Coast, decided to surprise the teenager with a gift of their own. While they couldn’t give the skateboarder a pet duck outright, the station’s morning hosts did bring in a bunch of these animals for a visit during the girl’s appearance on their show. You’ve never seen a bigger smile on a young woman’s face! 7NEWS Adelaide shared that Arisa Trew would be getting her pet duck from the same farm that loaned the radio station some friendly birds for the day. According to Sky News, the young skateboarding champion is already planning activities with her future pet. She’s especially looking forward to teaching the bird to ride a skateboard! Obviously, becoming a duck owner is going to be a lot of work. Both the teen and her parents will have to do plenty of research on how to care for these animals before bringing one into their home. However, it sounds like the girl has put a lot of thought into her decision. We’re sure that Arisa Trew will make a great duck mom! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Everyone knows that dogs and cats make adorable animals. But have you ever considered what it would be like to have a pet pig? While they aren’t the most common pet, they are surprisingly good companions. This is something that Valerie feels passionate about sharing with others. Why? Because she has a pig named Homer, and he’s the sweetest thing you’ll ever meet! You’ll find all sorts of adorable Homer content online, but a particularly cute video gives us insight into his bedtime routine. Yes, that’s right, he has a bedtime routine. But on this particular night, Homer was especially eager to get some shut-eye. The reason has to do with the weather. Turns out, Homer hates rain and snow. So with a storm passing through, all Homer wanted was to be tucked into his bed. @homerthepig Bedtime is his favorite time #bedtime #sleep #night #life #pillow #insomnia #foryou #foryoupage #pig #piggy #loveyou #kind #fun #kidsbelike #storytime #toys #pillow #funny #fun #pet #petlife ♬ original sound – Homer As shown in the video above, Homer legitimately has a little bed all to himself. Well, almost all to himself, anyway. He does share his sleeping space with lots of adorable stuffed animals. In fact, these friends are an essential part of Homer’s bedtime routine. Without them, he would be far less comfy and far more lonely. Woman Shows Off Her Adorable Pig’s Bedtime Routine… and Now We All Want a Pet Pig Believe it or not, Homer was the runt of his litter. He’s also blind in one eye. His original owner wanted him to go to a good home, so she was thrilled when Valerie welcomed him with open arms. Now, these two are besties for life, something she loves to show online. Part of the reason why is so more people will realize what a great option pigs are as pets. “Now I want a pet pig,” someone admits in the comment section of Valerie’s video, with another adding, “This is the kind of content I wanna see.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
