1 Fish, 2 Fish, White Fish, Blue Fish

I had very vivid dream about pets last night, cats mostly. (Reminder: In dreams I don't have allergies.) This created a slight problem when I woke up this morning. I was expecting to be snuggled up with a couple of cats. This made me sad to wake up and find that I was only petting waded up bunches of blanket. I, then, became motivated for the mission of the day. Get a pet fish (only because they are the only allowed pets for college students. Plus they are just decoration anyway. You can't pet, cuddle or play catch with them.)

My original thought was just get one Betta fish from Walmart, no biggie. Walmart only had girl Bettas. Not saying that the girls can't be pretty but they don't have the long ornate fins like the males and all of the girls at Walmart were a yuck brownish blackish ugly color. I left and made my way to Pet Smart.

That's when I found them. The two beauties (two because they were on sale) that are going to keep me company in my big room all to myself. Ladies and gentlemen I give you Chip & Dale!

This is Chip. (He didn't like that I used the flash but it was the only good picture I could get of him.) His name is Chip because He has patches of dark purple that look like chocolate chips to me. He is feisty. I watched him flare up and try to fight the fish in the cup next to him on the shelf at the store. I like me a fish with some fight.
Next we have Dale. Dale kinda has a red on his nose like Dale the chipmunk. He is pretty calm and keeps his cool much better than Chip. He also is a little shy when I get close to his bowl. Dale seems to be a level headed fish and doesn't freak out like Chip does. He's the perfect counter part of the duo.
I decided to get one white fish and one blue fish because those are Aggie colors and I don't have to dress them up as little mascots for the sports games because they already have their game on! Now I just need to find something like a multiple cup holder you get at fast food restaurants to be able to bring them to and from Logan on long weekends and school breaks...
