My Newest Friend & Pet: Meet “Bubbles the 3rd”
Bubbles 3 now comfortably at home in my kitchen!
Jake came home from doing errands one day and this little guy was there to greet me. The first pet we ever had as a married couple was a red and blue beta fish named “Bubbles”. He hung out on the counter top in the kitchen at our apartment. We have not had a beta fish for a long time because we have other tanks and they are the type of fish that really need their own space and tank.
I am a big fan of animals and little critters, however, I don’t enjoy the maintenance part of fish tanks. Thankfully Jake handles that piece for me. I make sure Bubbles is fed and entertained, but otherwise Jake does any tank cleaning. Yes, I have conversations with my fish while cleaning or cooking in the kitchen! He is hard to get a picture of because he is either hiding or won’t stop moving. He is a beautiful red and blue long fin beta. Bubble the 3rd has even learned my tap means “time to eat”! Bubbles is the only pet that I get to feed consistently, the girls all feed and care for the all the other pets in the family. Bubbles is my cooking and cleaning buddy when Jake and the girls are not home or around!
Introducing the Newest Member of Our Family – “Spotless”
He is fast and doesn’t particularly like to get his picture taken! The newest addition in our house has been named, by the kids – Spotless! It’s been hard getting even a partially clear picture of the newest addition to our household (or at least the newest member of our fish tank).
For the first time we have a pet frog in the fish tank with our fish. The kids have caught plenty of frogs and toads near the creek, but this is the first time we got one specifically put into our big tank. Spotless likes to hide by the filter or in the leaves. It is fascinating to watch him swim around the fish tank with all the fish.
