Selfish Tsk Tsk Tsk


Two weeks ago I planned a trip to Petco or a pet store to get our cat Mini a litter box (although she likes doing her business outside, we thought we would save her the trip...not my idea...I like keeping poo outside, on the front lawn, where it belongs) so I decided "I want a pet...a dwarf frog or a fish".
They stay take responsibility in steps:
plant ----> small pet ----> more demanding pet ----> spawns
I researched dwarf frogs
...what? they might get disease? clean out aquarium? net out old food? bloodworms?
Eff. that.
Betta Fish. Cool. Bowl, rocks, fake plant, fish, flake food. Check.
I have 8 plants I care for, 5 at work, 3 at home, I can handle a fish.
Then before the store I started getting anxiety
"holy crap, I have to clean a fish bowl, no way, too much responsibility. What if I get whisked away to a foreign country for a year, who will feed Henrietta?"
Really? Am I that selfish with my time that I can't dump and refill water?
Apparently.
No fish...yet...stay tuned.
But for your viewing pleasure, a picture of the fish I would LIKE to get.
