Fishuneral #2
This was the view of King Titus when we woke up on Saturday morning. I seem to recall the same view of a different fish 8 months ago. We finally managed to pull off a fishuneral last night. (Thank goodness because he was starting to stink).
Ammy loves to lead the service. She always says a few words and asks those in the crowd to add their comments. I decided it would be inappropriate to add how happy I am that I no longer have to clean out the fishbowl so I just kept my mouth shut and took the pictures.
Flushing the fish.
Goodbye King Titus.
Some of us will miss you.

Meet C.C. and Leo
We added two African dwarf frogs to our family yesterday. I am pleased to introduce...
C.C. (after NY Giants football player, C. C. Brown)
and Leo (as in DiCaprio).
Kellen and Ammy received a Frog-o-Sphere for their birthday. They saw the Frog-o-Sphere when we were on vacation this summer and have been wanting one for their room ever since. The only reason I agreed to more pets is that this is a self-contained, self-cleaning ecosystem. It comes with 2 aquatic mini frogs that live for 2-4 years, a snail, living gravel and a bamboo plant. The frogs eat twice a week and you only have to change the water twice a year. These are very low-maintenance frogs compared to the last couple of frogs that we have watched/owned. (One time we had the class frog over Christmas break and we almost cooked him by placing his aquarium on top of the radiator cover. Thankfully, we returned him alive. Then someone thought it would be a great idea to give my older kids a Frog Kit for a birthday present. This frog was the nastiest, smelliest frog ever. He actually jumped into my garbage disposal one time when I was cleaning out his bowl. Thankfully, my husband was able to get him out.
Anyway, I think we will be able to manage these two. They are pretty fun to watch and they fight like two other people I know.
Thanks Grandma and Poppa for the great gift.
