herb = Person.create(name='Herb', birthday=date(1950, 5, 5))

Now we have stored 3 people in the database. Let’s give them some pets. Grandma doesn’t like animals in the house, so she won’t have any, but Herb is an animal lover:

herb_mittens = Pet.create(owner=herb, name='Mittens', animal_type='cat')

Note

herb_fido.save()
