Meet our newest family members...

NOPE, no human baby yet......when that happens, you will feel the earth rummble, hear us from the mountain top etc.
ANYWAY...
Even though we've had them for almost 2 weeks, they are my birthday present from Al and Zoe. I am sure somewhere on a "list" of what to get someone on their 35th birthday is GOLDFISH.

They are Fin and Pinto, they are pretty lively fish. Fin is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but definitely the most curious and full of spunk too. Pinto is more laid back, and is really quite smart. Fin follows Pinto around, while Pinto gets the food from the top of the tank when it's meal time, and if Pinto is checking out a spot, as soon as he's gone Fin checks it out too. Didn't know that fish could have so much personality, did you? They do! But I won't bore you with that anymore...but there is more to say on that topic from me. Just ask Al, while he listens to me, he thinks I've cracked.

So there you have it, you've been updated on our lives.....just kidding, there is plenty more to come with pics of more than just our fish....maybe some of our cats. LOL

I liked reading about & meeting the newest members of the Penner family. They are cute fish :=). I had goldfish on my birthday wish list for 35 too, however, I didn't get any! Seriously though fish are nice to have, I find it so relaxing just watching them. I know Zoe will enjoy caring for them and having them as pets. So are the next pictures going to be of the cats with their paws in the fish tank?!!

Yay fish!! I still cannot see your blog. I don't know why.... I can see the pictures, but all the words are on top of each other on each post. Sentences upon sentences... Boo hoo.

Congrats on the new pets. I am eager to see the cats' reaction to the new occupants! :)
