This is him, "
Cecil, The Killer Turtle". Our 2" wide remorseless eating machine. A few weeks back, I wrote about how Daddy had brought home three new fish for the kids for Valentines' Day. As you may recall,
Bubbies was Conor's fish,
Red was Kate's, and
Whiskers, the housekeeper of the bunch, a sucker fish to assist with keeping the tank clean. Well, today, we mourn the loss of two of those fish,
Bubbies and
Red. And, judging by the green tint of water in these pictures,
Whiskers is on his way out, too. This ferocious little turtle has consumed almost the entire new lot of fish in only two short weeks.
Bubbies was the first to go. He was a small little fish, so his demise was not surprising.
Red, on the other hand, was half the size of Cecil and a heck of a swimmer. We noticed he might be in trouble when his back fin began to get shorter and shorter (as if small bites had been taken out). Today, both
Bubbies and
Red have disappeared, and poor
Whiskers has an injured right fin. I am afraid he just might be the next casualty in the Clark Family fish tank. Needless to say, Joe and I have agreed to get more fish. Although, this time, we will refrain from naming them. Clark Infested Waters indeed.
In the tale of Princess Katie and Conor-saurus, the beautiful Princess sits in her castle admiring her precious jewels. The aggressive and young Conor-saurus is attracted to the Princess' beautiful jewels and tries to invade her castle for a peak every chance he gets. Princess Katie's loyal subject, Boozie the Dog, occasionally protects her from the fast approaching Conor-saurus, by smothering him with kisses. However, this defense does not always stop the yelling intruder, therefore causing Princess Katie to flee the castle.
You all must know this is not the post I had intentions of sharing tonight. However, as I sat here in bed typing a story of "friendship realized", a sweet story of Katie acknowledging her first "best friend" and all it meant to be declared as such, the conversation I overheard from the bathroom down the hall left me cupping my mouth in laughter with one hand and hitting Delete on my sweet story with the other.
Conor has been cruising along the tables and sofas for little over a month now. As a result, this weekend, we thought it was finally time to have his feet measured, and purchase his first pair of walkers.
