We have a client who tells stories about her cat being addicted to the fax machine. Apparently her husband works from home – the cat slowly learned the sound of the fax machine and that after it beeped it would feed out a fax. The cat started coming when the fax beeped and grabbing the fax and running through the house with it (away from her husband who would occassionally be chasing for an important document). He would then proceed to shred the fax to little pieces. It has progressed to the point where he now stands on the fax and presses buttons until it feeds out a piece of paper for him to shred!

I have an orange starfish not sure of the correct name I call him Patrick. Well I used to have him in with my seahorses but I decided to put him in my big tank. He was fine for a few days then I walked by the tank and he was over half way down my long tenical anemone’s mouth. So I jumped up and pulled him out. I thought he was dead. He had the slime that anemones digest there food with all over him. I took a paper towel and started wiping him off. All the time thinking of what bad thing I could do to the anemone to repay him for hurting Patrick. None of the little legs were moving no kind of life signs what so ever. So I took him over to the tap water to wash him off so I could let him dry out. After that I dried him off again and his color started wipeing off. Then I decided to give him one more chance just in case he was not dead to come around. I put him in my refrum and I checked on him about 30 min. later. To my surprise he was alive. He is climbing all around the tank now. I guess it goes to show that you should not give up so easy on thing you love. Now Patrick, Mr. Crabs and yes Sponge Bob are doing fine. Oh yes I did not hurt the anemone. I’m just looking for him a new home.
I have a beautiful Gold Stripe Maroon clown fish named Ruby but she has problems. One day she is good as gold the next she is like a woman gone wild. If you try to clean the tank she will bite you. No matter the size of the other fish she still bullies the other fish around. There are 3 anemone’s in the tank and 2 of them she tries to claim for herself. The other clownfish dont stand a chance with the smaller anemone’s. I am waiting on her to try to take on the Green Carpet anemone. I dont even think she is that brave. I just wounder if they make medicine for that.
I have been looking on all these different sites to find out about these fish. I like to read things like how they act and what to expect but they dont tell these things. So I have started my on so maybe it will help some one else. We just got it to night. I dont know if it is male or female and not sure yet what to name it but soon I will. After I let it set in the tank for about 45 min. I let it go into the tank. The thing went crazy and keeped on swimming in circles up the side of the tank. I’m not sure if this is how they all act or not. It really looked like the fish on Nemo. Now it has went and hide its self in a rock so I guess I will have to wait till tomorrow to tell you all more.
On 12-28-07 the little fish are starting to get settled down. It is nice to watch them swim around. My light came in and look great. It sure does make a difference. On 12-30-07 I started to see brown stuff growing on the rocks. I was told this is what should happen it is just part of the cycling. 12-31-07 I dont think it looks very nice any more. When I came home from work all the glass had it growing all over it and all the white sand is now brown and so is the rocks. I had to go buy a scraper at $17 dollars (but at leat it floats) so I could see the fish. 1-2-08 Ok it is starting to look a little better now. I went and bought some small crabs and they went to town on all of it. 1-5-08 It is almost all gone now and ever one is still growing good.
1-12-08 We went and bought 5 new white tail damels at $2.99 each and some live rock at 8.95 a pound. That is kind of high but that is what you get when you shop at local fish stores. And I just found a crab that came home with the live rock. I guess you can say that one was a really live rock. lol. Some people are tell me to get rid of him but I think he is really cute. He has parts from the live rock on him to make himself camuflage. 1-13-08 Well there goes the brown stuff again. I should not of added so much at one time. I just noticed that the rock has feather dusters growing on the that is so cool. That is one less thing I wont have to buy. Saved $20.00 dollars.
I got my tank on Thursday 12-13-07. I had to get my husband to build the stand and that took about two days. Then I had to stain it and put the varnish on it. That took about another two days. then finally it got to come home on 12-18-07. When we got it home it was time to put it together and that was not fun. Instead of doing things like putting the back ground on and things like that I went on and filled it with water. On 12-20-07 I put the sand and salt in. Still not looking to see if it was far enough away from the wall to plug in the lights. It was not and 150 gallons of water 6 bags of sand and 3 bags of salt later I thought about that. To late to even worry about that. on 12-22-07 I got to put my first fish in the tank. I got 4 Blue Damsals and I hope they are happy. I got up on 12-23-07 and they are still alive. It may not seem like that big of a deal to some but to me that was huge. I was told that someone has a large live rock and a star fish they would give me if I could get it up and running right. And to anyone who know the price of living rock that is already growing the coral on it that is a lot of money saved. More on this as the days go on.
For Christmas I told my husband I wanted a saltwater aquarium. So of coarse I got one. That is where it all get kind of weird. I looked into the size, type and the accessories I needed. Or so I thought I did. All I wanted was one about 100 gallons sounds simple right. Wrong!!! I go to four or five different shops and talk to them in detail about them and every one of them told me something different. I got disscouraged with all of it so I went home to think it over. So i went on line to look up more about it. And every where on line was about the same as the stores. I found a store that was about an hour from my house that said they could answer all my questions. So I went to the new fish store that told me they had everything I needed and would ever need. Sounds fishy right. Well I thought so to, but I went anyway. It was a little fishy untill the owner got there. And he was not happy at all with the way we were being treated in his store. He helped me pick out a tank that would be best for all that I was wanting to do. It is a 150 gallon tank that is pre drilled and came with the overflow fittings. But just like every thing else do it in small steps. he wanted me to get the stand, pump, filter, lights, and heaters from him. This would of costed me another big chunk of change. If you or someone you know is good with building thing it will be cheaper and will look better than anything they have. That is what we did. As for the rest of the things you would be amazed at what you can find new on ebay. On the pump I saved $40 on it even with shipping. The heaters I got 2 for the price of one it the fish stores. The filter I had to go in between two of the stores to get the best deal on it. At first they wanted $235 for it after I went told them I would just go else where I got it for $199. But when it came to the lights I had to go to a store that does not sell saltwater fish to get the best deal. The ones I wanted would of cost $699. But I got them for $439. Now we are talking about saving big time. So the best thing I can tell anyone about the set-up of a tank is make sure you do a lot of reseach into the topic. Because the most expense is in the equipment. If you can save a few bucks doing this then you can have more for what goes inside. That is where it counts the most. But make sure when you are saving money that you are still getting the high quailty the fish and you desirve.
Okay, so it was Daisy’s 1st Christmas she was about 4 months old and I decided to take her to my dad’s which is 3 hrs away from where I live. The car ride was fine this wasn’t her first long trip so I wasn’t worried about it. We arrive there fine and on time.
My step-mom has a Shih Tzu named Teddy who is like King of the caslte and here comes Daisy this total air head waltzing into his home like its her own home. Well after a few little tantrums from Teddy, it was decided that it would be better if Teddy and Daisy were seperated because Teddy was showing signs that he was not tolerating Daisy and all she wanted to do was play with him (because he was all that was left after she ate all his raw hide bones.)
Well we put baby gates up to block the doorways leading to the family room and the dining room (his house makes a circle) Daisy stayed with the family and me poor Teddy sat on the other side of the gate giving us this really sad look like “Why do I have to be on this side, this is my house?” I guess the gates wouldn’t sit in the door way right so we leaned them against the door way and placed a chair to hold them up against the wall. This didn’t seem like the dogs would be smart enough to try anything Teddy just sat there pouting and Daisy played with everyone else who was in the room.
I was talking to my dad when Daisy decided to show what she’s been hiding, a sign of intelligence, I just happened to look out the corner of my eye when I saw Daisy by the door way it seemed to me she was just looking at Teddy and that was it. Well I looked again a couple seconds later and she was pulling the chair away from the door way by the cushion tied to the chair! She was gradually moving the chair so it wouldn’t make a sound and I wouldn’t notice what she was doing till it was to late. When I caught her I just simply looked at her and calmly sad her name she just froze and her eyes looked up at me. I went to put teh gate back before it could fall but Daisy yanked it and the gate fell and my dad and I had to seperate the beasts. I guess she isn’t as air headed as I thought.

I have 2 cats that love to play chase every morning from about 7:00AM untill about 7:30AM. That is long enough for me to wake up really ill every morning. They will not do it durning the day or even late at night. And the only place the want to do it is in my bedroom. As soon as I get up they stop playing and then they try to take a nap. This is the craziest thing I have ever seen.
