I'm so sorry....
even though you can't pet them like a cat or a dog...but they do touch your heart.
I have had Valiant for barely a week and he recognizes me and my daughter. Aria was talking to him and he floated there....as patiently as a docile labrador. It's a good thing fish are so neat! My daughter has asthma, she has it 20- 50 times worse then I did when I was here age. We spent 3 days in the hospital. Just last weekend her cousin Micheal visited, they have a little dog. Just the dandur on his clothing caused an attack. Fourtunately we caught it soon enough to reverse the reaction.(usually with her meds it takes 2-3 days of wretching to get over a reaction) I washed every piece of clothing Micheal had brought, and imediately sent Micheal to the shower.
95% of the time she's fine, just like I was at her age...I grew out of it, I sure hope she does too.
On the happier side of things~She's turning 6 this spring and keeps asking me when she can get a salt tank!! She's definately is quite the fish addict like me!!!!
But she is quite happy with her tank of neons and mollies! She is constantly taking pictures and takes great care of them. I was amazed at her agilities of netting fish. She helped clean her tank and caught every last fish included the speedy tetras!!! Not a fin torn.
I look forward to seeing the pics of you horses
thankyou,
