The Newest Member of Our Family

This is a photo of the newest member of the Miles Family (although you can barely see him - he's in the top right hand corner of the tank). It's so peaceful and quiet. No getting up to take it outside to potty or anything else that goes along with pets that stay inside. Needless to say, the little talkative rascal that lives at my house already, thinks that we have handed her the moon with her new pet.

The truth is, it was an actual bribe game. In hopes to overcome her fears of standing in the front of the church to sing in the kid choir, we promised her a pet fish if she would go. She went and the moment she returned burst into tears......but she went.....and that was the goal. So now, she has a new pet beta fish named "Lightening." He's red with purple highlights on his sides and seems as happy to be in his new larger "cage" than in the little can he came in. This picture isn't great, but it's all I had. I'll have to get a better one soon.
