I also had to set up a new aquarium this weekend. One of the friggin carnival fish went belly up, and I didn't panic until one of my little guys started swimming funny, and now I am worried about dropsy. The fish that passed first, had a hard white mass on the side, which I thought to be a tumor, but, with my little guy acting poorly I decided to quarantine him and the other carnival fish. I moved my older healthier fish to a new tank. Pain in my osh gosh b'gosh. I am now $50 into the death of a free fish. Grrrr!!!
My daughter and oldest son are saving their money for new hamsters. They have been looking at a teddy bear and black bear hamster. My daughter has even found a castle cage for hers. Ugh! Just what I needed, a few more things whose shit I have to clean. (Then why the bird? I know, I know.)
I was miserable having to send my babies back to school today. I want it to be Summer already...gosh darn it!!!
We would be exactly that family...if my husband wouldn't completely freak out! :-) Every trip to the pet store has me so close to buying that Lizard that son thinks is "so cool" or the birds that are just too pretty, or those darn little Dwarf Hamsters...I mean, look at 'em, they're flippin' adorable! The clean-up does help keep me in check, though...I'm already thoroughly annoyed every time I clean out the guinea pig cage!
