Two Fish and a Dog

Well, tonight we went and got two algae eaters for our fish tank - we got two because the tank is getting really nasty even though we've cleaned the water. The fish lady, as we called her, said our tank could handle two. When we dumped them in the tank, they immediately swam to the side of the "all you can eat feast" and dug in.

While we were at PetSmart we also got some things for Holly Berry. We got her a tag with her name and our number on it. We didn't put our address since the man at the store said, "If your dog is out, you're not usually home." Richard said he didn't want our address on it. It is a pretty gold bone tag, and Alyssa picked it out. We also bought her a bed, which she has already claimed as her own, a new toy, a harness, some flea/tick treatments, and a rawhide type bone.

We decided to try the harness first. Richard put it on her, and we thought we had it just the right fit. But, when he took her outside, she got away very quickly and took off running through the neighborhood (the picture of her in the yard shows her right before she got out of her harness). I got in the car and took off toward her........we eventually caught her and brought her back. The second attempt was much better, and she successfully walked down to the end of the street and back without any trouble.

When we gave her the bone (after the walk), she quickly grabbed it , ran to the back door with it, and demanded to be let outside. She ran all over the yard with it, put it down, and dared us to come get it. Richard tried to pick it up, but she grabbed it and continued running around. Since it was really late and very cold, Rich came inside and left her to have her fun. Very shortly, she had the bone hidden and was at the back door trying to get back in.
