Lat Saturday, my Kissing Gourimi (fish) of 6 1/2 years, took the final swim across the bridge to the big fish bowl in the sky. It is a bit strange not having the big bully in the tank, but I never would have expected a fish to live so long...
So, last night, my husband, Sadie and I set out to find some new fishies to keep our plecto company. We ended up with 2 Silver Mollies, 2 Long-fin Zebra stripped Danios and 2 Mickey Mouse Plattys. I take horrible pictures of fish, so I don't have many to share...but I'll keep trying!

On the way home, we came home a slighly different way then usual. It just happened that garbage night was last night in our neighborhood, and coming a differnt way, you'll never guess what we found...someone was throwing out their cone!!! I spotted it and Ralph decided we should go back. He turned around and just as I was ready to hop out and grab it, someone was pulling out of the driveway!!! I didn't want a confrontation, cause I knew I would have to lecture the people that pets are a life time commitment, that they can't just be put out with the trash!!! Instead we drove slowly up the street, turned around and rescued the cone after they left.
Casey is resting comfortably now on our enclosed porch. We are a little afriad to bring him in the house until we know if he is house trained. The carpet out there is/was so stained from the previous owners, any accidents won't even be noticed!!
It is so nice out now, I am sure he will be fine for a few days til we make sure all the pups are okay with him...so far no issues, but we want to be sure Spot won't try and mark poor Casey the Cone.
Here's a few pics...
