Our friend moved out of state and gave him to us several months ago, and now we are moving and passing him on to someone else. So, it's pretty sad. He has been a real part of our family. So, when we sold the dining room table, I put Pete on the kitchen counter. Stinksy didn't seem to care or notice. But today, right before I was about to put Pete in his travel pitcher (yes, a water pitcher - that's how he arrived at our place) Stinksy jumped up to see him. It was like he knew!!! So sad. But, our friends have a little girl, and Pete will entertain her, and vice versa. And, I figure they will take good care of him. So, it's not completely sad. It's happy time that Pete went to a good home! Hopefully he will live a long and happy life with them! And if not, the FP pointed out that they will have to keep buying a blue and red betta fish so that their little daughter won't know that he died.
We also gave them our not so thriving serrano plant that has been sitting on our outside walkway area. After all these years, I still don't know what to call it. Landing, patio, stoop. Whatever. It's the narrow walkway from the stairs to the door that we have as our own private space.
Anyhoo, we also gave them the plant that they gave us as a housewarming gift when we moved in here! They just put an offer on a house in Carlsbad, so hopefully they will get it, so the ficus can be like a housewarming gift for them!
So, it's down to our last week here. I've been knowing this was for real for 2 months now, but it definitely is hitting home more now. I mean, we are starting a new life across the country from scratch!!!
I'm sorry to dwell on this in every post, but this post is really about me, so this is what is at the forefront of my thoughts right now. Oh, also, tough loss tonight, Stillers. It was a really good, hard fought game. But, that's that. Good luck next week.
So, let me leave you with something from the past. A video of The Fuzz when she was a baby:
