I have the noisiest pets in the world.
I do not have dogs.
I do not have cats.
I do not have parrots.
I have goldfish.
All through my apartment, there is a persistant "click click CLICK!"
It's the goldfish, pushing and shoving and apparently tossing around the gravel at the bottom of their aquarium.
For weeks, I've been hearing this, this "click click CLICK!", and I thought it was my ancient ugliest-clock-in-the-universe getting sporadic and ready to die.
Then it did die.
Quietly.
And the "click click CLICK!" continued.
After a little while, I spent some time playing Nancy Drew and tracked the sound to the tank. Lesley, Tallulah, Manny, Bruce, and Infomercial were having gravel-volleyball playoffs.
It's just as loud. It's just as constant. But it doesn't bother me now that I know what it is.
Now, this undertone of "moo moo SQUAWK!".... that's starting to bug me.
10 bucks on Bruce in the playoffs..he sounds like a winner..

I help him stay amused by vaccuming it into a mountain which, after two days, he has f l a t agin.
