Meet Pooh and Hamilton.
These are our only pets. We have had many pets throughout the years. In fact, once Alex said, “If we get one more pet, we’ll be a farmer!” The pets have all passed on…except for these two. Pooh is a fish that Emily tried to have live at school in her locker, until she found out, it was against school policy. The policy that says “no pets at school”. She had to bring him home. And Hamilton was a gift from a boy that Emily asked to a dance, as part of saying “yes” to the dance invitation. So of course, I’m the one who takes care of them. Emily wouldn’t agree with that. The funny thing, is that we found out that all of us were feeding them. The reason we were all feeding them is that, Pooh has figured out, that if you look at a person and act frantic, like you haven’t eaten in weeks they will think you are hungry, and they will feed you. I think he is more intelligent than the usual fish. I also think he is about twice as big as he was. I am amazed how funny they are and I’m glad they live with us.
