I have pets!

LOL, Joseph and I have been talking for months about getting some fish, I needed something to take care of during the day, and cats and dogs have to pay extra where we rent. Sooo we finally got some fishies yesterday, the pet store was having a big ‘after christmas’ sale, and I got a 10 gallon tank set up and 8 fish, little ones to start. Just some variety of Tetras, a male beta, and a pair or colorful guppies. We have not named then yet though. But they seem to love their new home and all get along.

I haven’t had fish since I was about 16, and we were broke so we made our own gravel… of course, i thought our penny jar would be great, it was beautiful, but I didn’t think of the copper poisoning that would happen. The fish were dead within a day. :-( So since then I haven’t had much luck with pets, when I was pregnant and ‘nesting’ with my ex-husband, we got a bunny and 2 mice, well the mice ended up being male and female and within a month we had about 50 mice, and had to get rid of them, and within a week of getting the bunny he got some weird bunny disease and died. He was the runt of the litter. Then Joseph and I tried a kitty, but he promptly went into heat and ran away one day when joseph was coming in the door. So I haven’t really been willing to try another pet. But I am GOING to keep these alive! LOL
