With the recent demise of my photo gallery (possibly to return, if I find a gallery system that isn’t horribly nasty), I thought I’d post a recent photo or too. Not my dog, but it is my photo, so that’s good enough for me.

I’d like to introduce you to the newest member of our family, Prince Al.

He only eats live food, so he is a ton of fun to feed. We’ve already managed to lose one cricket into our kitchen, luckily the cricket was never seen or heard from again, hopefully being smart enough to avoid venturing out where our killer cats could not quite manage to kill him. Luckily crickets don’t live long…

We’re hoping he’s actually Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud (from Saudi Arabia), and that he’ll be grateful when someone finally kisses him, but honestly the odds seem pretty low at this point.

At approximately 4:05pm PDT one day at least a couple of weeks ago, my Betta “Phishy” met his maker. Well, his parents are probably dead, breeding fish don’t usually live long healthy lives, but stick with me and bit a bit more philosophical then that, would you please?

Anyway, as a result of the successful betta experiment, I’d like to introduce everyone to my new fish, RC.
