You have already received the answer -- pax=pet should be pax=pet(), but I have a simple
side-comment about style. It is common Python convention to capitalize class names, IOW make
this class Pet instead of class pet. This is convention not a requirement, but it does help
distinguish class names from ordinary variable names -- especially to others reading your code
(as well as yourself a few days later). ;-)
