A little update

Granted I'm pretty sure no one really reads this...
Anywho...
I'm down to one fish, Spook, he has out lived everyone, Laddy-o, he died last month; Daddy-o, died a while ago; Scion, committed suicide (see previous posts); and Dante, he died around my birthday, I was kind of sad about that, but he lived a good life.  Had a 'Baker Street Gang' for a little while.  Sherlock, John, Mycroft, Lestrade/Moriarty.  Turns out Lestrade was less Lestrade and more Moriarty, he ate the other fish...
I had a pigeon for about a week.  My Boyfriend and I rescued the bird, we still aren't sure what sex it was.  It was a pretty looking bird though.  It had feathers on the bottom of its legs, but not tiny feathers they were as long as my fingers.  Apparently he was a fancy pigeon (real term) at least according to wiki, and everyone knows that everything on wiki it true XP
Any way, as we were deciding whether or not to keep the pigeon it started flying around my room then into my window, we decided that we might want to let the bird go.  This resulted in my boyfriend and I chasing the bird around the grounds trying to 'convince' the bird to either let us catch it again or at least sit in a bloody tree.  Last we saw of it it was sitting on a wall until it was chased away by two smaller birds, I don'[t have much faith of that bird living a long life...
And currently I have a Jack Russel Terrier at my feet.  His name is Charlie.  I'm house sitting him for my conductor while he's on vacation.  Sweet dog, total brat at times.  I didn't even know the dog was trained until my mother dropped by to visit.  Walking him is much easier now.  And, he is a world class beggar.  I have had quiet a few conversations with him while walking him.  He is also very fond of the pillow from his kennel, very fond of it.
And that would be everything from the animal angle of my life.
Work is work and hasn't really changed.
In fact much of my life really hasn't changed
You may have noticed, however, the use of the term boyfriend.
Yes, I have a new boyfriend.  We've been together for almost two months now.  It's really great.  I always smile when I'm with him, even if I had been in a bad mood before he showed up.  He just makes me happy, even if I just talk with him on the phone.  And his name?  Spiderman
Not really, but he does really like Spiderman, and I wouldn't actually release is name online, just a photo
XD
Yes that is him in the jacket, on the Batmobile
Well, I've got eggs a hard boilin'
I'll probably write more tomorrow
I'm making my mom's milk potato soup tomorrow
Bye bye!

Missing Fish update

We found Scions body...
Or what was left.
It was kinda turned into fish jerky
His body was in one of the boxes that I needed to go through, found his fin first then the rest of him...
Surprisingly it didn't smell funny, or I think I would have found it sooner.
Boys are stupid...

Up Next...

Not much to report...
Still haven't found Scion's body and there is no fishy smell in my room.  So, I have no idea what happened to that fish.

No other fish have died, which is a nice thing.  I feel bad when they die... Usually...

Had a tooth ripped out.  Wisdom.  Figured I'd get it out while I was covered for dental.

Almost done with my room.
Moving things around and getting rid of things.  Mostly getting rid of things really.

Yep life is horribly boring right now.  Except for the crazy people below.

Think I'll enjoy the peace for now.

Wow this is a really boring post isn't it...

Boys Are STUPID!!!!

Apparently it doesn't matter what species they are.  They are all freaking stupid!

I suppose an explanation might be appreciated.

I am the proud owner of 2 Betta...  Both male, because I like the pretty ones, and the only pretty ones are male...  And both attempted suicide.  Dante, my older red boy, jumped from my hand on to the kitchen counter while transporting him to a different bowl so I could clean his tank.  And while I scrambled to catch him he jumped from the kitchen counter and on to the floor.  The idiot managed to tear half his tail fin off.  It scared the hell out of me and I felt bad as I watched his blood drip in his temporary bowl.  This lead me to looking up possible infections for Betta while I waited for Dante's water to settle

As I put Dante's tank back on the shelf with my other Betta, Scion, blue and young; and the boys, a moon platy, guppy, and bottom feeder: Daddy-o, Laddy-o, and Spook (god bless Carlin), respectively.  I noticed that Scion's fins were crumpled.  Further research leads me to suspect a fungal infection.  I decided to steralize his tank tonight and as I took him out he too jumped onto the kitchen counter, luckily he did not land on the floor like Dante, and there were no ripped fins either.

Both boys have medication in their bowls now, so hopefully there will not be a toilet in their future...

Granted that toilet did have a Lazarus like effect on Riku one of my other fish...
