After TNT's latest Random Contest idea, which I've submitted something too (the only one, out of all of them, which I could be bothered to do), I've decided to try my hand at writing articles based on Books. For my first Article, I've chosen the book 'Grooming Your Faellie'. You see, if this gets into the NT, I'm going to try to create a 'series' of sorts, based on Grooming Pets and Petpets.

This is only 700 or so words, probably not enough (someone care to enlighten me on the minimum?), but I wanted to get your opinions before I did anything more.

Grooming Your Faellie

Faellies are adorable little petpets who originated in Faerieland. Now however, they have spread all over Neopia, and are very popular, being well known for their soft delicate fur, large ears and tiny wings.

But have you ever stopped to wonder how owners and their pets manage to keep these adorable petpets looking so perfect? Or perhaps, you are one of those owners who has just recently bought a Faellie and given it to your pet, only to find out a week later, just how difficult maintaining these petpets actually is.

Either way, this guide is here to help and inform you about How to Groom your Faellie. So whether you are desperately seeking advice on how to make your pet’s little bundle of joy look one hundred percent, or just want some information to remember for further use, this guide will help you.

Materials-
A Petpet Bath (of any kind)
A Sponge
Petpet Conditioner
Petpet Soap
Short Petpet Hair Brush
A Towel
A Petpet Toothbrush
A Tube of Petpet Toothpaste

Step 1- Washing Your Faellie

A Faellie needs to be washed at least every second day, if not daily. The first thing to do, is to fill up your Petpet Bath with warm water, not too deep. Carefully put your Faellie into the water, allowing it to get used to the temperature. Then gently pour water over it, making sure not to get water in its eyes.

After wetting your Faellie, pick up your Petpet Soap and rub it into the Sponge. Then carefully lather the Faellie’s fur until its covered. Carefully rinse the soap off with some fresh water.

Next, you must squeeze a little bit of Petpet Conditioner into your hand and gently rub it into your Faellie’s fur. Let the conditioner sit for five minutes, then rinse it off with fresh water.

Step 2- Drying Your Faellie

After washing your Faellie you can carefully take it out of the Petpet Bath. Grab your Towel and wrap the Faellie up in it, then empty the Petpet Bath. Use the towel to dry your Faellie, giving it a firm rub without hurting it. Make sure to dry its fur really well, you don’t want your Faellie catching a cold!

Step 3- Brushing Your Faellie

Now that your Faellie has been washed and dried, its time to give its fur a brush. Pick up the Short Petpet Hair Brush a begin brushing your Faellie. Make sure the fur is all smooth and always brush in a downwards direction, otherwise the fur will stick out awkwardly.

Step 4- Cleaning Your Faellie’s Teeth

Once your Faellie has been brushed thoroughly you need to brush its teeth. Make sure you have a Faellie-size Petpet Toothbrush and Petpet Toothpaste. Squeeze a tiny bit of Petpet Toothpaste out of the tube and onto the Petpet Toothbrush. Then carefully brush your Faellie’s teeth, making sure to brush all of its teeth both front and back.

Step 5- Taking Care of your Faellie

Now your Faellie is clean, dry, brushed and has sparkling teeth. But to really take care of your Faellie, you can’t just groom it everyday.

Your Faellie needs to have somewhere proper to sleep, a Petpet Bed or two in your home will be a safe, warm place your Faellie will be able to go to when it needs to rest.

You must also feed your Faellie everyday, it needs 5 small meals daily. Faellies are all different, however they must eat equal servings of meat, vegetables and fruit. Faellies also enjoy treats, especially food which comes from Faerieland.

Faellies need to be played with everyday, so you must make sure that your pet will take care of it. If your pet is going to be away throughout the day, because of Neoschool for example, it is probably wise to buy some toys for your Faellie to play with.
Faellies like balls, mazes, springy toys, squeaky toys, wind-up toys and playing in cardboard boxes.

So there you have it!
Faellies are very popular petpets, and very adorable too. But if you own a Faellie, or are considering buying one, make sure you, and you pets, are prepared to take care of it.

EDIT: I was considering also, making it 'Grooming Your Petpets: Part 1' and including two articles, 'Grooming Your Faellie' and 'Babaa Care' (another book), would that be a better idea to pursue?
