I worked on my scrumble afghan. It's about a third of the way done now and I'm still enjoying it.


We got two new baby ratties. Matilda and Rose. They are hairless rats, Matilda, the top one, may turn out to be a double rex, won't be sure for a month or so yet. They are both so sweet and cuddly and warm.
Now for some weirdness. I had a beta fish. She lived in a little tank on my antique dresser. She was a good fish, her name was Puddles. This is all in past tense because she is gone. Presumable dead but we really can't be sure because when I say gone I do mean 'gone'. As in,
'where the hell did she go?' gone.
We went to feed her the other night and she wasn't in her usual spot waiting for her meal. I assumed she was in the little log thing on the bottom of the tank and didn't worry about it. She wasn't there in the morning, either. We have since searched the tank thoroughly and she is absolutely not in there. At all. Gone. How can a fish run away from home? Was she abducted by aliens? Is she going to show up in the tank some day with a weird chip stuck in her little head? Seriously, I have no idea where the fish went. This is going to drive me insane.
We honest to goodness can't figure out what happened to that fish.
