Pets

I feel like putting an entry on our pets today.  Mainly because we got two new pets yesterday.  First, about our first pet.  Wonder Woman is a female betta that we bought as a back up fish for our wedding reception.  We wanted  a blue betta swimming around in a bowl by the sign book.  We bought her in case we weren't able to find a blue male betta, since they have the big pretty fins.  So we had Wonder Woman as a back up.  She survived the week or so before the reception and then survived the trip from Bunkerville to Vegas.  That is how she got her name.  We were surprised that she survived that trip.  She is doing fine.  She is still a very active fish that provides great entertainment.  Sorry we don't have a picture of her, but she is hard to photograph.

Now for our next two pets.  We just got them yesterday.  Countess and Polgara are mice.  We have been talking lately about how we wanted to get a new pet, like a hamster or rat or mouse etc.  We went with a small animals since we can't really have a cat or dog right now.  So we decided to use some of my birthday money on either mice or a bigger fish tank.  I decided on mice since we can actually interact with them.  They have cute personalities.  Right now they are cuddled up next to each other asleep.  Polgara is dark gray with a white stripe down her chin and chest.  Countess is creamed color and white.

This is  Polgara.  So named from a character in the books The Belgariad.

This is Countess.  Brielle referred to this mouse as a vampire mouse, and since I always think of count with vampires, she is Countess
