My Friend Poncho

Hey, I’m taking care of my neighbors’ fish, Poncho, while they are on vacation. He’s so cute! He’s a small tropical-looking fish (I don’t know what breed). He’s got huge red appendages and a dark maroon colored body. I feed him some little fish-food pellets (just 5 each morning). And in the morning when I first wake up and go over to his bowl, he starts swimming around wildly! If he were a dog, he’d be wagging his tail. But since he’s a tropical fish, I guess he’s wagging his whole body!? He sits in the window sill right next to my desk and watches me work on the computer. I call him, “Ponchito!” and he loves it! Having little Ponchito here makes me want to get a puppy. I really want a little cockapoo (cocker spaniel-poodle mix). While growing up my grandmother had a cute little black cockapoo named Love. He was so sweet. Anyway, I’m probably too busy for a puppy at this time. A few weeks with Ponchito will have to suffice…….
