Aquarium Fun with Babies!

Yesterday I went to the Long Beach Aquarium with my sister, her two friends and their three sons. It was quite an adventure being with three babies at a place like that. For a Friday afternoon, it was packed with groups from summer programs and many many families. The boys really did enjoy looking at all the fish and seemed very interested in the cute sea otters. I haven't been to an aquarium before and never realized how much I like looking at fish and other sea creatures. These neat and interesting fish certainly make my little Beta seem pretty boring...

These were the three coolest looking fish that I saw there:

Doesn't this one look like

a dalmatian? Those are my

favorite dogs.

Dog Day!

Today I attended the annual Bulldog Beauty Contest in Long Beach and I had a blast! My friend Mya, has Diggy, a 3 year old English Bulldog and they have entered him in the contest for the past 3 years. It was great to sit and enjoy the parade of all these little animals. Well, some are certainly smaller than others. Many bulldogs went au natural while Diggy and many others had on little costumes and had a full theme going on with their owners. I've never been much of a bulldog fan but after going to this event, I am a full fledged fan! They may drool endlessly but they are adorable and have so much personality in their little bodies, especially in those wrinkly little faces!

I love dogs and would love to have one but sadly, we can't have pets in this house. I do hope to own a dog one day when I have my own home and a nice big yard for them to run around.

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace." - Milan Kundera

"I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive."
