Life in Texas....

My dog managed to chew off her cyst last week. We took her to the vet to get fixed up. She is wearing a Elizabethan collar to prevent any further damage. She is a little Houdini of getting out of her e-collar. So I tied her E-collar to her collar with gauze. I made huge gauze bows. My son curiosity finally got the best of him tonight to ask, "Mom, why did you tie the dog's collar with toilet paper?" It's not toilet paper. Until her wound heals, we are calling her a bull in china store. She is knocking everything over.

My angelfish in the 10 gallon tank laid eggs. I didn't think too much about it since the eggs have never hatched. The other fish usually dined on angelfish caviar. The angels are patrolling the tank the way you would want our borders patrolled. The angels even have the snails quivering in corners of the tank in fear of being attacked. The eggs hatched. The fry is now free swimming. The parents are going nuts every time a fry separates out of the group for exploration. I don't think my herding dog has the precision of herding as these fish do. There are approximately 150 little itty bitty fry swimming around. When I went to the pet store to find fry food, I saw this super huge aquarium. It was huge! I pointed out this aquarium to my husband and suggested we get this monster fish tank. His eyes looked like he was having a heart attack.

Stopsign - You did take notes.

Keads - It is always a circus here.

Go for it Supi. They do have little netted thingies that hang from the sides for the fry. Good luck with the little ones "Gramma Supi".

Odie - The 10 gal tank is now the nursery. The parents are doing an excellent job being parents. I put a netting around the filter intake.

Hi Supi! I hope your doggie is getting better. When My dogs had to wear those collars, they hated them and knocked everything over.
The fish story was funny. I had a biggish tank, and it was so much work cleaning, then I had smaller ones for my bettas, as they passed away one by one over the years, now I am so busy that I never got around to getting another one. Enjoy all your pets. Maybe that's why I like cute kitten video's and puppies and stuff, as I don't have any now.
Have a great night.

I hope your doggie is on the mend. Sounds like your life has been quite eventful lately. I have always liked fish. Angelfish are very pretty fish.

Teresa and Bunni, yep my doggie is getting better. Thank you both for asking.
