We went to a pet store!

M is getting to an age where she wants a pet.

Unfortunately, M is allergic to cats and Hubby is allergic to dogs.  I like animals, but I get really nervous having to hold them or take care of them.  Malia likes lizards, but there is NO WAY I can be in the same room with one.

So…..

Fish!  A pet fish is what we have to settle for.

We went to Petco in order to see all that we need to get a pet fish into our home.  We went to Petco to see what fish were available and how much money we could be possibly spending.

After talking to the associate, he told us that a good starter pet fish would be a beta fish.  After hearing that, we went to the beta fish section and looked at all the items we would need and all the different beta fish were available.

After looking to every possible thing we could about beta fish, the girls wanted to explore the store for other animals.

Birds.  We found birds.  The girls loved the birds.  They loved listening to their tweeting.  K loved tweeting back in response.  It was so cute watching her just stare at the all the cute birds.  I’m sure if I told them they could take a bird home, they would jump at the chance to have one.

So this is where we are….

We are at the “I want a pet” phase of life.  It’s going to be interesting.  I just hope she outgrows her cat allergy and pray that neither girl will develop a dog allergy!
