Blessings in Disguise

Posted by & filed under Best Friend Betrayal, Submitted.

Skipper was having a rough time on our walk to the park the other day. She was just done. After trying to get her to get moving again; I finally had to borrow someone’s phone and call my husband to pick us up. As I was leaving the park; a very nice lady told met that she wished she had her Lourdes water so she could bless the dog. She also told me that she was on her way to church, and would be praying for us during the Stations of the Cross. It must have worked–she is back to her old good-walking self again!

Her sign: I was SO bad at the park today–A woman wanted to bless me with Holy Water!

You betta watch out!

ALECTO’S SIGN: I flare at Mommy when she tries to move the mermaid. It is MINE.

IROH’S SIGN: I hoard food in my bubble nest and then don’t eat it. (I eat my plant instead.)

Alecto is two and a half years old, and Iroh is about six months old. Alecto’s brother, Bluebell (recently deceased), was incredibly possessive when it came to a pink-and-black tape measure I’d keep sitting up next to his tank; much like Alecto won’t let me move the mermaid, Bluebell used to get upset when I’d take the tape measure to use it. Some bettas are greedy little water dragons and love their hoards, even if it means their tanks get messy very fast (Iroh, I’m looking at you).
