I once had a marine aquarium. I eventually dubbed it a very expensive fish-killing machine.
My dentist has one in his lobby, and pays a pro to take care of it. These days, I’ll be satisfied with my Roku screen saver.

We used to have a pair of aquariums, one tropical and one marine. Yep, with a few exceptions the salt water tank was where pricey, exotic fish went to die.
There have been big improvements in salt water starter and maintenance kits since the late seventies, but nowadays the PC SereneScreen Marine screensaver does me just fine.

My beloved KittyKatessa, Tata, whom I adopted almost 3 weeks ago, apparently learned how to attract attention in the most adorable way; whenever she wants to be petted or fed, she very gently paws my leg..and she is a SOUTHPAW cause she always does it with her left one...how adorable is that? 
(please ignore my UGLY FLAT FEET and zoom on Tata!)

Got Ms Charlotte some catnip "happy balls" to keep her occupied whilst We are in Japan!
Looks like extra toes on those front paws!
Neko. 13 years old and he still can't navigate the blinds cord
Or maybe he's rehearsing a trapeze act
Mabel loves to jump up next to the stove, then from next to the stove to on top of the fridge, then from top of the fridge to the top of the cabinets. I put a bed up there ages ago, it’s one of her favorite spots. Occasionally she’s so comfy she lets a paw air off…
That's awesome. Lamar used to do the exact same thing. Short cabinet, to top of fridge, then top of cabinets. Unfortunately, he's too old to handle that now...
Maybe a tad overweight.... 
Last Sunday I got a belated Father's Day present from my favorite pups:
Wow! I get my QQ T shirt a week earlier & then this. Two cool shirts to show off.
Ellie Mae is a Beagle-German Shepard mix & that is very good combination. Her history was being picked up as puppy road side in Northern Texas & shipped to a shelter in Oklahoma. I've learned that is not good because they have a high kill rate; 7 days for surrenders & 10 days for strays. And then they are gone so a lot of rescue shelters work with OK to avoid that. Eventually she made her way to KS and was rescued and then adopted out by K911 Foundation in our area.
One of the good things about this org is that you sign paperwork saying if things change or don't work out, don't abandon or take to another shelter, just return them to K911. That's what a couple did saying they couldn't give her the attention she needed. Now I can understand this. Eliie is a very loving & affectionate pup & by that I mean she will take 110% of all your love & affection. She is, in fact, demanding. But it was love at first sight & were lucky she adopted us.
Ellie on line ordering my T shirt:
The history on Jackson our Dachshund is a bit sketchier. After getting him I did some intensive googling & found his original puppy adoption pic online. The listing said he was 9 months old:
Yes he really does have a bat wing for a left ear, esp if he is alert & intrigued. I figure that's why a breeder probably dumped him. So somehow he made it from California to Kansas at the same fostering org we got Ellie from. He too was adopted & returned. Seems there were several girls sharing home rent & when things changed no one wanted to take sole responsibility for him. So back he went to the fostering group. We had a prior Dachshund that my wife liked very much I my younger daughter tipped us off one more was available we gave a two week trial. I knew he was a keeper.
Both dogs are about 9 yo I think and they are the best of buddies despite size & personality differences. One is very mellow & the other is a dachshund. But they are healthy, happy, energetic & playful. I am a lucky, lucky dog dad.
