The unnamed fish...

I used to have betta fish a few years back named Frodo and Sam (from LOTR).  Sam died fairly quickly within a couple of months, but we had Frodo for a couple of years.  After my hamsters died (they lived for 2 years which is the normal lifespan), I decided not to get anymore pets.  (Of course we have had our beloved Marley for 12 years, but she is more like a member of the family than a pet.)

Anyway.........the other day I decided to go to PetSmart to look at the betta fish.  I had been thinking about getting one for a couple months, so I went in and checked all of the blue male betta's tails to find the healthiest looking one.  I got a really cool  glass bowl for him.  I also picked out a Roman ruin statue to put in the bowl (the Roman ruin was to smooth it over with Tom since he was just in Rome this summer and didn't know I was buying a new pet!).  I know, I'm awful!  Then I rescued the betta from his tiny cup that they keep them in at the pet store and took him home to his new spacious living quarters.  

We haven't picked out a name for him yet.  My vote for Kiefer (after one of my favorite actors) was shot down, so I'm leaving it up to the kids now! ;)

Feel free to suggest a name for our new fish!
