inigo told me one day that he wanted to have a pet fish. i told this to jude as soon as he got home from work. it was more of sharing to him our eldest son's latest fancy rather than pleading since i knew that having a pet in the house spells another responsibility for me... as if two little boys are not enough! but little did i know that it was the daddy who was more excited to have a pet for his boys that's why the following saturday found us in cartimar looking for a small fish bowl ('fish bowl of elmo' was how jude described it to the store owners, haha) and the fishes which we will put inside it.
inigo was so happy. we bought two goldfishes since jude said it's the easiest to maintain. it should only be one but it's me who pushed him to buy two because i felt that even fish needs a company. hehe. we 'christened them inigo fish and theo fish - how orig! hahaha!
well, even theo seemed to love the fishes. just look at his grin...
inigo was very good in taking care and/or feeding the fishes on the first few days. but now... he doesn't even bother to look at them! :-/ sometimes i call his attention and tell him that the fishes are hungry. he tells me in return, "feed them mommy, they might die..." hmpf!
haha... that's the exact reason why i'm hesistant in getting kei a pet as well as i may end up being the one to take care of it later on. :D
ReplyDeletehahaha...now YOU have 2 fish pets to take care of, Mommy! :P
ReplyDeletei-assign mo kaya kay Daddy Jude pagpakain, eh sya naman pala excited magka-pet eh :D joke!
Benedict also have turtle & fishes for pets :) yung 1st fish pet nya is actually a clown fish (Nemo) which was given to us for free lang one time we went swimming in a resort a bit far from here... free nga yung fish, eh napagastos naman kami sa aquarium, pump & aerators, hay! it lasted for a bit kahit na seawater fish sya kc 5 mins. drive lang naman ang dagat from our place :P But when it died, Benedict really got sad telling me "Mommy, im sad bec i dont have a pet fish anymore" what good came out of it though was that i was able to tell him the story of getting old & dying and heaven...now he tells others of the fish heaven, the dog heaven & people heaven :P
now inigo is masipag again to feed his pets to the point na he overfeeds them. hay!
ReplyDeletethats actually what inigo was requesting before since he also saw the movie "nemo" but since the nearest salt water here is manila bay baka hindi kayanin ng clown fish ang maligo sa murky water at first day pa lang bumigay na. hehe.
ReplyDeleteoh no! baka mabundat ang fishies! :o
ReplyDeletewell, at least he's feeding them. :D
