Fish Friends
Wednesday, April 19th, 2017From Wednesday Mom – Janelle:
Jack really wants a pet–especially a dog–but dogs are an additional responsibility that Jack and this family are not ready to take on just yet. Tate would love to have a furry animal too, but he is still happy playing with his stuffed puppy.
My parents visited over Easter and loved the little pond in our backyard. They enjoyed watching and listening to the waterfall. They liked the woodland scenery on our porch. My father thought there were two things missing… fish. I agreed, and think they’re the perfect pet for the boys.
My parents took Jack and Tate to pick out their own Koi fish. Jack’s fish, named Lightning, is white and orange with a hint of light blue. Tate’s fish, named Blackeye, is orange, white and black with a black ring around his eye, hence the name. They are very excited to have their own pets. I hope to teach them some responsibility with these cute little guys.
The fish are still getting acquainted to their new home. They like to hide under the rocks and plants. We were warned about this, but hoped by now they would be swimming all over. We check on them several times a day in hopes to see their beautiful colors. Hopefully in the next few days they’ll feel more comfortable and come up for food.
