i have a 13 year old yorkie named mickey and 2+ year old betta fish named stanley(cup) the fish in blue (for the none hockey fans, his colour represents the toronto maple leafs and his colour and name represents the maple leafs winning the stanley cup) [man, am i ever a hockey dork?]

anyways, this whole summer (4 months) while i was in korea, my mom had to take care of my fish (surprised she didnt kill it!) anyways, my mom told me every day she'd put mickey on the dining table as my mom fed the fish and mickey would just sit there and stare at the fish.

so over the christmas i brought the fish back home with me and i did the same thing. twice a day i'd put mickey up on the dinning table to see what he'd do
it was really interesting because mickey would sit and stare at the fish and the fish would swim up to mickey and just stayed there, as if they were both staring at each other!

on the last day of my break i gave mickey a good bye kiss and put my fish (in his travelling cup) on the ground to see what would happen.
mickey walks over stares at him then licks the cup! how cute!!! (awwwwwe)

this is just a random story i thought i'd share...

on the side note, half way through writing this ir ealized i didn't feed my fish so i opened the top and shook his food and he did a little swim dance and ive never seen him do this! every time i shook his food he'd swim towards it but this is the first time he did the dance!!! lol he's becoming more and more like mickey! (mickey goes nuts if you shake food or make crumbling of the packaging sound)

you should try! you never know!!!
i bet your cat's trying to plan its way to eat the fish lol :P

my daddy used to threaten my fish that hes going to kill it and make it into betta sushi (he owns a jap restaurant) because he was tired of cleaning the tank (back when i was 12 yrs old, my betta lived in a massive tank all by itself and my daddy had to help me clean it because it was too heavy for me lol)

fish doesn't go home very often because its a hassle to take him home for the weekend.... next time he'll be home is in the summer.
if fish is still alive i'll take a video of their interaction!
