Life On and Off an Acreage

In-sights into moving from an Acreage back to Town, plus a few things I find of interest.

Two things that horses are scared about:


1. Things that move
2. Things that don't move




Old enough to be eccentric, but not rich enough

Gone to a Better Place!

We've had Sushi for three years. We watched him grow from a fingerling to a fish 16 inches long.He went from a tiny fish in a large aquarium to a large fish in a tiny aquarium. Lets say that a 35 gallon tank was just big enough for him to turn around in.

Today we made the choice! Sushi had to go!

So go he went, to a lady that raises fish and a new home in a 120 gallon tank with two other Koi.
The same lady offered to bring us a bunch of guppies.

No, the lady does NOT run a Japanese restaurant!

Sushi

What else do you call a koi that is rapidly outgrowing his 35 gallon tank?

We've had him/her for about 3 years ever since he was a fingerling. Other than the dogs and the horses, the fish are the only ones with names. Currently he is about a foot long. I guess one of these days I'll have to take a trip back to the pet store and see if I can barter for a replacement. Anybody got any other suggestions? I hate the thought of him living up to his name.

Besides, the rule still holds that you should never name anything that you could eat. 8-}
