Welcome to our family, Clamsy!

So a few weeks ago Doug and Zander went into Petsmart to look for a scooper for backyard duties. They looked at fish and Zander decided right then and there that he needed a fish and was very disappointed when he wasn't getting one that night. So we told him to plan out everything he needed to get the fish. We thought we'd need a shelf to put the fish on, since we already have a dog and a cat. Here's his list:

(He doesn't normally write like that, with backward letters. My only thinking is that it was because I was dictating how to spell the words and he was in a hurry.)

And then a few days later Doug took him back to Petsmart where they decided on this pretty beta fish. He's purple with white, red and blue colors. Zander named him "The American Flag Fish" and then decided on Clamsy for short.


We put him on the shelf in Zan's room. Vinnie, the dog, has growled and noticed the fish twice. So we just keep the door shut when we aren't home. Hex, our cat, hasn't noticed at all. And he sleeps with Zander most of the time.


We are enjoying Clamsy and Zander is enjoying having a pet of his very own. He did try to talk us into a snake, we declined. :-)
