A New Pet

We have had a few pets in our days. Frogs, that I killed by not putting water in their cage & sat them outside in the sun...oops. Salamanders that we gave to someone with a pond before we moved. Scorpion, yes a scorpion....that I killed by setting it outside in 120 degree heat with nothing but it's cage (who knew those gross things needed water and frankly I'm glad I killed it...it was too creepy). The girls would love to have a dog, but we live in an apartment on the 3rd floor & it is just not a good thing. We have been thinking for awhile that they are old enough for a pet, to feed & take care of but what? A fish? A hermit crab? A gerbil? Well thanks to a guy at work, Daddy came home with a Beta fish & the girls were ecstatic. They brought the stool out & just watched it, trying to figure out what to name it (he is still nameless). Zhara wanted to take him in a car ride to school, but instead they got to feed him this morning. Hopefully I won't kill this one.....
