A New Pet, You Betta Believe It

 We finally got ourselves a pet. I really wanted a King Charles Cavalier, but had to settle for something much easier to potty train. We couldn't decide between this one

this one. There is a difference in the tail but both are dragon bettas. I carried both of them around the pet store for quite a while. Mi Miguel finally said, "Come on, let's pick one and go."

If you notice in the photos both of them have beautiful colors of glass behind them.  

The above photo was taken this morning with the diffused sun behind him, coming through our new window shade. 

If you haven't guessed yet, we got them both. Why wouldn't we? Two bettas are just as easy to care for as one. The beta in the above photo is mine.

This one is Mi Miguel's They'll never do fancy tricks or go for walks. You'll probably never see us posting photos ever again of our bettas.

It is however, a start on having a pet (like a King Charles Cavalier)that will do fancy tricks and adore us when we walk through the door. Don't you want that unconditional adoration Mi Miguel?

There really isn't much in the way of photography with a fish. I did manage to get a bit of a profile picture of Mi Miguel's fish. I guess our next step is to come with names.

I mentioned blinds behind the fish bowls. Yes, we got our living room blinds up. They look fantastic! So much better than that bright green fabric.

All the colored glass is back on the trendy sofa table that Mi Miguel made.

And now these sweet little betas give our living room some movement while encompassing that coastal living feel.

Since living in Florida, Mi Miguel and I both have met some pretty fascinating people. Staring in February, I'll be featuring a new fascinating person each month. 

One thing that I've learned since moving to Florida, you rarely run across a true Floridian. Most folks have migrated here from the north or from another country altogether. That's why, for the first fascinating person I've chosen a person that is a native of the sunshine state. Next month we'll find out what makes her so fascinating.
