Introducing... Our New "Pish"!!!

So... I REALLY want a dog. Obviously a dog isn't ideal for us right now, so we settled for... a fish? Chacey loves Elmo and Dorothy, and has recently gotten very excited about identifying the "pish" in all of her books/Sesame Street shows, etc. So, today when we met Amy at Target, Petco called my name! We stopped in and started investigating the fish. After the very nice, helpful Petco employee flat out told us "you will kill them" to our first choice of fish... we decided that a Beta would be easiest.

We bought a Beta Kit... which comes with the enclosure, food, a little cage decor, and wall mountings! Yes, apparently it is very serene to decorate with Beta fish, mounting them to your wall. Then we bought a bottle of "Beta water," which is probably tap water in a bottle with a pretty label on it, but whatever, anything for Chacey's fish. We selected the most beautiful $8 fish we could find and headed for home!


On the way home, we were talking about the fish and Chacey randomly yelled "Pablo!" So I guess that we now have a Beta fish named Pablo. :) Chacey and Sam got Pablo's new home all assembled and filled with water, then dropped him in! We are going to have to continue to keep him far out of reach... someone thinks she can carry him around, but other than that she enjoys him! She runs into the dining room, stands on her tiptoes and peeks over the edge hollering "pish! pish! pish!". Pablo is definitely the perfect pet for us!

So cute...tell her that her cousin Jacob has had his Beta for almost 3 years now....we didn't know they lived that long.

Such a cute little tale - love how you tell us what is going on - who is going to babysit for Pablo when you go to your Dad's next weekend?
