We Have A PET!

Anyone who knows Dennis and I well knows that both of us are NOT pet lovers.  We both really don't see the point of a dog or a cat.  In my opinion they smell, are dirty, sometimes loud, and did I mention they smell?  I pretty much don't like a single thing about dogs and cats and am always bothered by people who treat their pets better than their own kids.  I was lucky to marry a man who also doesn't have the slightest desire to have an animal.

Anyway, our closest friends here in Indy have moved to Texas and they sent out an email asking if anyone would like their fish and fish tank.  Knowing that our boys will never experience having a dog or cat, I thought they might enjoy taking care of fish.  After all, they don't smell, they stay in their tank (so they are pretty clean), and they are quiet.  Besides we are getting everything to take care of them for free.  So, after checking with Dennis I said yes. 

When I told the boys they were super excited.  They said, "We are going to have a pet?" Colin and Evan are having a blast feeding them daily.  And since the previous owners gave them boring names of Orangey and Stripey, Colin and Evan have renamed them Silver Surfer and Human Torch (those are super heroes if you were wondering).  Well, I guess they can't say we never got them a pet.....
