"SHHHHHH" aka Fish

We were able to get our fountain up and running and decided to add some fish.  Rudy developed a newfound fascination to "shhhhh," as he calls them, so we were pretty excited to get some of our own!

Off we went to Petsmart to pick out our fish.  And there were quite a few to pick from!  

At $0.20 a fish, we dug deep and picked out 5... one for each of us 

The stage was set...

Rudy did a little dance to welcome the fish to their new home...

 ...it was really quite exciting!

 There they go!

 Found 'em!

 Avery could sense the excitement in the air...

 The fish must like each other because they tend to stay close together.

Can you guess who named who??

They have to be fed 2-3 times a day, but Rudy doesn't mind.  It's the highlight of his days sometimes.  And he doesn't forget.  In the mornings he walks to the front door right before we have breakfast and says, "SHHHHH" and surprisingly is ok with running out real quick (without shoes on most days) and coming right back in.
