It hasn't been a good weekend for pets in my world. My aunt had to put her dog to sleep yesterday, and (much less sadly), my fish at work died over the weekend of a mysterious mold-type affliction all over his body. I'd noticed a tiny spot on Wednesday morning and changed his water before I left, but alas. I'm told it was quite disgusting -- fortunately, some kind and unlucky co-workers who had to be in the office Friday gave him a nice burial at sea.

And so, in the spirit of jumping back on the fish horse -- fishorse? -- I went to PetSmart and got myself another betta, this one with pale blue stripes. No one can take the place in my heart reserved for the old fish, but he's a beauty, and very fiesty. I don't know what to name him, though... the old one's name was Honey, although it never really stuck and I usually called him, somewhat uncreatively, My Fish. I'm thinking of Also My Fish or My Second Fish for this one. :) Any ideas?
