It's like we are a shelter for homeless fish or something

I called my friend, Wendy, the other day.  The only person that is busier than I in these parts is Wendy. She has a daughter who just graduated and is heading off to college in a few months. I haven't talked to her in a week of so--we had to catch up.

Anywho, I'm recapping a graduation party of last weekend that Wen had to miss out on.  I tell her all the fun parts and how much we missed her and Steve, when, I casually mention a certain Mr. Cuddles.

"Oh, isn't that Adam's fish?" she asks.

"It was. Now it is our fish." I tell her solemnly, and somewhat grumpily.

"Oh." she stops, "Weren't you 'done' with fish?" she steps lightly into touchy territory.

Yeah. I was.


Mr. Cuddles?  Oh, he's having one heck of a good time hanging with the minnows.  Ugh.

That Mr. Cuddles sounds like he could be trouble!

I didn't think that sleeping with the fish was a good thing. Or am I wrong?

Is Grace stalking Mr. Cuddles? You hope?

Catherine said...

Someone else does not look to happy about Mr. Cuddles. :)

I'm STILL chuckling about a fish named "Mr. Cuddles". I mean, SERIOUSLY?

oh! and my word is "catimp"!

Daisy--He apparently passed the test that the minnows have to be "one of them". It's like they are a gang or something down there in the water. No trouble yet....but you never know.

Chuck--I dunno, he seems happy. He swims with minnows--I think he feels at home. If Mr. Cuddles is happy, then I'm happy.

Vanilla--Nope. She doesn't care about fish or frogs and such. But that is what I love about my kitties--they are good like that. I would be mortified if they ate someone.

Catherine--I don't mind Mr. Cuddles now, but come fall when he's gonna have to come inside for winter....ugh. I wonder if he can stay out with the minnows???

Katnip Lounge--I take no credit for that name--although I do like it. I mean, who has a fish named "Mr. Cuddles"?? It's like it was meant to be that he lives here. :) I LOVE the word verif. today! Hee! Hee!

Gad I adore that photo of Grace. I may have to steal it to use as my profile pic! Pbbfft!

Pricilla said...

At least he's not EATING the minnows

Jean said...

I was confused but now I'm not. Maybe one of your Bull Frogs will have him for lunch.

Ann said...

Grace looks like she's ready to have a little Mr. Cuddles lunch

Casey said...

It's sad that our happiness rides on those around us, isn't it? Including fish.

Lin said...

Grace--It is yours to use. I think you and Grace are a lot alike. :) And that is a GOOD thing!

Pricilla--Nope. He loves the minnows now--they are HUGE friends. :)

Jean--I have never seen the frogs eat the fish, but I'll bet they do. My frogs seem to really like birds better. Sigh.

Ann--My kitties pay absolutely no attention to the fish, believe it or not. Even when they are in the house. Isn't that weird?

A fish called Mr. Cuddles? I think I heard that name before. :)

Chocolate Covered Daydreams said...

Hope Mr. Cuddles doesn't eat much and at least pays a small portion of his rent.

Bless you for having a heart for the homeless.

Hey- I left a comment. Where did it go? I said that Grace looked like she just enjoyed Cuddles a little too much.

Lin said...

Zach--Please tell me there isn't another Mr. Cuddles out there!

Chocolate--He'll eat up the algae in the pond and get big and fat. I guess that earns his keep....for now.

Sharkey--Hee! Hee! Nah, she doesn't even notice the fish, believe it or not.
