I thought I'd give an update on my boys since it's been a while since I spoke about all 7 (yes 7) of them at the same time.......

We'll start with "Will".....He is doing very well considering the hard life he had...He's happy and healthy loving life in his 55 gallon tank all to himself.....He HATES the camera so no new photos.....

"Jagger" is one of the biggest boys I have ever seen....He swims around waiting for the opportunity to "puff" at someone....He spends most of his life building his bubble nest in hopes that one day his princess will move in lol....


Photo taken today


"Dunn" continues to thrive and add pleasure to my life..He is a very slow moving guy...He has never built a bubble nest and is perfectly happy just playing with Mommy when she is cooking.....


"Kix" has grown into quite the handsome little man! He is on the smaller side but is not lacking attitude....He lives in my master bathroom (which we are always in) and loves his 5 gallon Ocean wonders tank.....It is a very unique home....I'll have to take some photo's....He has been actively building his 1st bubble nest...I'm sure it is a sign the monsoons are headed our way.....


"Patron" What else can I say about Patron except he is my dream come true.....He is everything I could have asked for in a Betta fish....He is total perfection from head to toe...Everyone who sees him is speechless....He is so busy building his nest that he only comes around to see what's for breakfast lol...


"Crush" is my little firey red headed boy.....He has done very well...He is a rather "hyper" child...He is loaded with personality and knows when Mom walks in the room...He resides in my bedroom....He has a little owie on his tail right now and is being treated with meds....Not quite sure what happened but took Roses advive to get him on something before it became a problem.....

"Lennox" This is a boy nobody even knew I had....He's been here for a while....When I rescued him from petsmart he was knocking on Heavens gate...He was a HUGE veiltail and was stuck way in the back of the display case...He was in a filthy cup and laying on his side...I had NO choice but to bring him home....I didn't think he'd make it so I never said a word...Well here he is today.....I'm sure he is a senior citizen betta.....He makes "Jagger" look tiny....I named him "Lennox" because I treated him like my fine China....


That's it for now.....My salty kids are thriving but I have still not got over losing "Angela" I'll post pics of the Salty babies soon...

Patron has to be my favorite of all your bettas. I'm getting mine soon, I just found $45 dollars in my room and I get to use it on a pet betta!

We are having a good and fairly cool day here with not that much humidity and I am having a good day too. We (our church) sent 14 boxes to the soldiers in our midst today and about 15 pounds apiece that is not a small amount of stuff. Considering that I got in on it from the ground level (shopping this morning for the stuff, running off the postage labels, fixing the Customs reports, taping the boxes before filling and after, and affixing the labels and postage and Customs reports and then helping to take to the Post Office) with one other woman I am tired tonight but it has been a wonderful day. We had 5 show up to help and they worked like troopers and did a fine job.

It was so much fun shopping as my friend has a 3 year old daughter and 2 year old twins and we traded off with the twins going with one of us and the 3 year old the other. They were very helpful and told everyone we met that we were shopping for the soldiers. They have so much energy and love for what they do it was great.

Well I have gotten totally and need to get back on.

Lennox is a fantastic find and may be older but looks like he has a lot of life left in him yet. He is a unique and wonderful color and has a kind of cross between a spade tail and a veiltail. It is a nice shape and shows not one bit of damage for all the horrid start you had with him. it just shows what wonderful care can do to help with those who start out poorly.

Thank you for your care and concern to a betta who would probably have been overlooked to death.

Rose,

I am so thankful for all the things you are doing for our troops...My son has been over there twice in the past year and I know how much they appreciate getting the care packages...You are such a wonderful lady Rose!

I was wondering what tail type he was...At 1st he just kind of drug his fins around...I couldn't really tell what he was so I assumed he was a veiltail....After he started feeling better (because of oxygen clean water etc>) He took on a whole new look...I really like the "BIG" guy...He was supposed to go to my daughters in CA next time I made the trip out there but I may just end up keeping him...
