The Other Family Members

So, some of our family members don't get a lot of hype here - not nearly as much as they should. Look how amazing they are!


And, now we have two more in our house! They don't know any tricks....yet! But, we really enjoy their company. We've had them for about a week now.

First, we had to get all the stuff and get their house ready...Mira picked out all the decor - lions, zebras, and some nice plants. She worked hard washing all the rocks and dumping them into the aquarium.





The next day, we added our two Fancy Goldfish! I was very proud of Mira being able to handle the whole "first we get the aquarium, then we come back the next day to get the fish" deal! She was very excited, but didn't throw a fit, as could be expected from a toddler.

This is Bubbles - so named for the "bubbles" on his head. He is a Red Oranda. He is a voracious eater!

 
He also loves the camera. He kept swimming in front of the lens. I got about 10 shots of Bubbles while trying to get one of Twitch!

What an attention hog!!

Get out of the way, Bubbles! Do you barely see Twitch behind him?!

Here you can see the zebras that we added later along with more plants.

And, finally, here is Twitch - so named because he was quite twitchy the first couple of days we had him. He has calmed down a little, but he hangs on to his namesake. He is a Black Moor.

Say, "Cheese!" Twitch! Look at those big beautiful eyes!
 

And a nice profile shot of Twitch.

Our newest family members!

We'll try and include all these guys in posts more often...
