A.J. Beets has been fascinated
with animals since he was a little
tike. While he was growing up,
A.J.'s family acquired the usual
household pets including dogs, cats
and goldfish. But as A.J. grew, so
did his aspirations to raise unusual
creatures.
Encouraged by his older brother,
A.J. decided to develop his interest
in animals. Last month he took a
giant step, purchasing his own pet
shop -- My Pet Place.
"Can I keep Him Mom?"
Betty Beets didn't object to her
son's decision. A pet lover herself,
she welcomed the chance to get in-
volved in the pet shop with AJ.
My Pet Place is home to exotic
birds; love birds, finches, parrots,
cockatiels, and a variety of other
feathered friends. Included in their
pet inventory are tropical fish, liz-
ards, iguanas, kittens, AKC pup-
pies and a host of critters waiting
to be taken to a happy, animal
loving home.
My Pet Place has a variety of
cages and home environments for
house birds, lizards and snakes.
Pet Vision video rentals for the
care, feeding, breeding and training
of exotic species are also available.
Also available are video on creat-
ing a back yard fish pond.
One of the stars of My Pet Place
is Reno, a 5-year-old 200 pound
Burmese python.
My Pet Place is located at 1105
W. Choctaw. The shop is open
