Yesterday, I went to a pet store just to look. I do this sometimes. It makes me feel happy. I was hoping they'd have equine supplies or puppies and kitties, but they did not. I looked at the birds, and felt the need to purchase another budgie. I think the next one I get will be white. I picked one out, and even brainstormed some names. Snowbell, and others like it. He/she was clinging to the wall.
The guy who works there taught me all about Japanese koi. They can grow up to two feet, and live almost a hundred years. And they can survive a Canadian winter. When I looked down at the pond of baby koi, they all came eagerly to the surface, opening their mouths in little ohs. Slipping over each other, a moving swarm of orange and white. The older koi just swam by me nonchalantly, casually raising an eye to the surface, going about their business.
