I grew up with animals around. At one point, my parents' house had tons -- dogs, cats and chickens. Dogs, we had a lot until I grew up. My parents still have dogs until now. Then, there was the time when I attempted to take care of a few goldfish (they all died after two weeks), not to mention the snails I brought home from school (they all crawled away and got lost)!
I have not seemed to outgrow pets. We did get one three years ago. Our yellow lab named Percy. Here he is now.
We got another dog two years later. This time a chihuahua. We named him Jake. Here he is the day I brought him home.
And now look. All grown up and playful as ever.
And then just recently, my boy got a gift from a classmate for the National Pet Awareness Day. He got a betta fish and named him Red Star.
He was in a fishbowl for a few days. Then, we upgraded his tank!
Red Star now has another companion - a snail named Garri.
I have been contemplating getting some more fish but my strong obsession about conserving electricity has been getting in the way. I know at some point my desire of seeing more fish in the tank will overcome me. Or perhaps, I will end up adopting birds instead.
