Doree the Betta (Our fish)

We have three pets here at our house. One dog, Sassi, one cat, Max, and one fish Doree.

Doree is a beautiful blue Betta. She is our second Betta, Doree number one had a little accident with the bathroom sink one morning. Whoops, slippery little bugger.

Our new Doree has grown considerably over the past few months. We got her a new bowl the other night, and I look at this fish I think of how lonely a Betta must be. They have to be kept seperated from other Betta's because they will fight to the death. All this fish does is swim around its bowl and wait for me to feed it. There is nothing fancy in the bowl, just a few rocks. Is Doree happy? I imagine the answer is yes. Why is Doree happy though? Is it because she is not in a tiny bowl at a petstore? Is it because she has not met the same demise as Doree number one? Is it because she knows no better life than the one we have offered?

I really have no idea why I am even thinking about a silly fish. I suppose it has a lot to do with things that are happening in life that I am unable to talk about. Don't get me wrong nothing in my personal family life is troubling me. I love my wife and kids more than I can imagine.

I watched a great deal of conference this weekend. It was more than I have watched in many years. It was probably the best conference I have seen in some time. Not so much because the talks were any better or anymore moving, but because I was more in tune with the talks that were being given. I am truly grateful for conference and the things that were taught. I look forward to reading over the talks I missed due to work.

I feel like I am just rambling so I am going to close this post now. DC
