The Pet Parent family includes Dr. Jason, Elizabeth and their two daughters Ellie and Olivia. Elizabeth was the one who came to Farm and Home Supply with Flint on Wednesday to collect his prize as the winner of the Caught in the Act category. It was the two girls who suggested that Flint needed to be entered in the pet contest. She said that her two daughters had asked to skip school so they could come too, but the grown ups in the family thought that might not be a good idea. However, she said she would definitely wait until they could come too before she spent the prize money. Flint, she says has a habit of picking up his food bowl and carrying it around after he has had his meal, perhaps seeking seconds. She snapped a picture of his once and that was the photo the girls wanted to enter. Even though he has a lot of girls in his life, Elizabeth says he is not into frilly things and doesn’t do dress up very well. The only thing he ever wears is his hunting vest, brightly colored for his safety. Elizabeth says Flint likes to go hunting and is a typical ‘bird dog’ retrieving birds for Jason. He’s not really big on toys, except there are some Kong toys carried by Farm and Home that Flint does like, so he will probably get a new toy when the family makes their shopping trip. Flint
