Bizzaro Tank

I like to occasionally update my blog on the happenings of the fish tank. Ah yes, more insight into my wildly exciting existence.

Besides having too many snails in the tank and it in dire need of a cleaning, not much has been going on.... until last Saturday!

Bobby and I were going out on a date that evening. The babysitter had arrived. Right before departure, Matt noticed a morbid sight in the tank. One of the guppies had died and was upside down laying on the bottom of the tank... completely motionless.

I was in a hurry and figured that the fish was not going anywhere so I told the kids I would clean the fish out when I got home. I was half hoping Bob the crayfish would discover the guppy and eat him. He should earn his keep.

Of course I forgot to clean out the fish when I got home, but remembered first thing in the morning. When I got to the tank, I noticed there was no fish at the bottom of the tank. Where the HECK was the fish!? There was no evidence to suggest Bob had been picking at him. Had the kids removed the fish in my absence? Not very likely...

I then realized the fish was swimming around!!! Yes, from dead with glazed over eyes to swimming and eating fish food! During this season of Lent, we have our own mini miracle. I move to rename our little guppy "Lazarus".

Freeze!!!

Allie's latest favorite game is freeze tag. She runs around like crazy and when she is tagged, holds her position. The position is always the same..... one leg is up and her mouth is open. It's a real hoot so I snapped a picture....

Skateboarding is Not a Crime

Here's one from my favorite silly blog...

What... You're Sick of Looking at Poo?

Fine... I'll update my blog. It won't be anything interesting though... life has been swept up with work, school, and surviving the cold. Plus, lately it seems my spare time is spent on Facebook... did I really just admit that? I'm the sucker that keeps sending fake fish and plants to people. It seems to be a good use of my time.

I did snap these pictures a few weeks ago though. It started when our dog Kiko was stuck under the couch and we couldn't figure out how she got there. We then watched and waited....

I guess the lure of the toys that were stuck under the couch was too great.

She seemed to like being under there...

She finally came out when properly motivated (we took her ball)...

It was cute until I realized she was also ripping apart the fabric under the couch. It then became much less cute.

I know it's pathetic. My blog has disintegrated into posts about my dog.... I'm the dog lady. *sigh*
