Family 
Comments Off Petcetera
The little girl has been asking the husband for a pet. At first, she wanted a puppy. Then, a cat. Then, some fish. The first two are out of the question because the kids and I react horribly to anything that is four-legged and furry. But we thought for a bit before saying no to fish because to be fair to Alex, the hub wants to raise koi himself.
What finally swung the vote against aquarium life? Well, we really have no idea how long we’d be staying in Cebu; we might move somewhere else by year-end, for example. And if we do move again (which I’m 95% sure we’ll do, at some point), the fish and their lovely but huge home will surely get in the way of moving. Then, there’s the question of space and pet supplies. Where will we put the aquarium? How much would we have to put aside for fish food and fish supplies?
At this point, there’s only one pet the family can afford to keep: Charlie.
