who would have thought!?

That Tiger would climb up the stairs
That the fish would be relaxing
That happiness would not be found in situations


Tiger was our little pup, a Labrador - German Sheppard mix, who stayed with us for the shortest time. He was only a couple of months old and couldn’t climb up the steps to reach our apartment. We would have to carry him up and down in our lap, until one day, the neighbour's rather bully of a dog decided to pay attentions to Tiger, which led to him rather spontaneously picking up the skill.


There are a couple of fish at home, and they are relaxing but the initial months weren’t like that. All within 2 months the fish had these adventures: one ate another’s fin and killed it; another got hurt in a fight and then died in a couple of days, another one over-ate and died; 2 died within 2 days of arriving, one got stuck at the small 'window' of a decorative ‘castle’ and could not swim in reverse, once they all nearly died because a plant clogged up the filter! Once they nearly killed us, because the water from the tank had been leaking on the electrical appliances all night!
