What do you do when you want your daughter to stop whinning about getting a pet and want a clean room? You bribe her that if she keeps her room clean for 2 weeks she'll get a fish. You see, two weeks was short enough that she could do it, and long enough that she could forget if it didn't mean that much to her. It meant that much!
Today was day 14 and the Carpenters headed out to Pet Smart to buy a beta fish that Chloe affectionately named "Poachy". Yes, that's a long a sound...rhymes with roachy... 
Let's just pray that Poachy (the male Beta fish living in a pink room with pink gravel and a pink tree) survives the 3-5 years as promised!!!
Can't you just hear the thoughts of this poor little guy? I am too tired to think of any, but I am sure that YOU can....will you post a thought from Poachy?

Poachy is thinking that one of those 2 paintings from your post below this one would make him feel 3-5 years in a pink room wouldn't be so bad afterall...
Well, we got a beta about 2 or 3 years ago and that stinking thing is still kicking. I have tried everything in the world to kill it (short of flushing it down the potty!) and it is still going. I think yours will be around for a while. BTW, ours is named Fishy. Ha!

Ours is still alive as well. In fact, there have been days when we forget to feed it and it still it keeps on going like the Energizer bunny. The dirtier the water, the more it swims. Go figure!
