August 1, 2008 - It's Just a Matter of Time Until You're Mine

It took a while, but Mia eventually realized, during her strolls along the kitchen counters, that there was a fish up there. It was Bob, Erin's Beta. Once Mia realized that poor Bob was there, we couldn't keep her away from him. In fact, a few times, we came home to find Bob's tank perilously close to the edge of the counter, and I doubt he managed to move it there himself. No, it was the Puss' doing. Sometimes she would simply crouch down next to the tank and stare at the fish, as if willing him to jump out of the tank and into her mouth. Well, life is certainly full of disappointments, isn't it? Our first move was moving the tank to a shelf where Mia couldn't reach it. And then when we moved, Bob went to live with my friend Jamie. There will be no more fish-temptations for Mia. Bummer.
