How's everyone doing?

I'm still house sitting and I still have limited internet access and it kind of sucks (the limited internet access not so much the house sitting). I do try and read everything you guys write but I just don't have a chance to comment as much as I'd like.

As well as house and Rainbow (cat) sitting, I've also been entrusted to look after some goldfish.

I'm pretty sure the owner of the house hasn't named the fish, or at least not all of them anyway, so I took it upon myself to do just that.


Ponds
There are three ponds - the rectangular one to the right, and two square ones, connected by a large pipe, on the left hand side.


Dean and Sam
Dean (the blonde fish) and Sam (the darker, regular goldfish coloured fish) live by themselves in the rectangular pond. They are both fairly stealthy and kind of camera shy.


Special Fish
The two square ponds are home to Bobby, Ellen, Andy and Ash, and all the 'special fish' like them.


Rainbow
Theses ponds may look like little goldfish oasises (sp?), however, there is much danger lurking. Rainbow decided to help me feed the fish on Sunday morning and as I was feeding Sam and Dean, Rainbow was keeping a close eye on the special fish.

I heard a splash and I turned around to see Rainbow with her nose close to the water and a paw reaching into it. I yelled her name and rushed over expecting to see a little orange tail hanging out of her mouth but she just meowed at me and slunk away. I like to think she was ashamed of her actions. (Perhaps she needs to join a support group - "Fish are friends, not food!")

And then I saw it. Lying on the tiles behind where she had been sitting, was a tiny little goldfish. OMG! I think it was Andy! Carefully I picked Andy up and placed him back into the pond. He swam away into the murky depths. I have heard goldfish only have a memory span of three seconds. For Andy's sake, I hope that's true. Poor little guy.



Why, yes. While housesitting by myself, with only a cat for company, I do get bored and lonely and spend my time naming goldfish. What made you ask?

Oh, I just realised that there must be a character called Ellen on Supernatural. I was hoping that she might representing a different Ellen but then she'd need a fish spouse called Portia.
