What would you do if your kids decided to run away because your house is too small? Not once, not twice, but three times. Three times! Would you buy a bigger house, or you simply let them go.
In my case, I think of the latter. Of course I'm not talking about my kids. I'm talking about Shrek, my froggie. He escaped from the aquarium three times in the last four days, hiding in the toilet corner, under the entertainment center, and on top of the aquarium. You may wonder how he pulled it off. Simple. First, he is no longer a small froggie. Second, as the previous video shows, he jumps up like a launching rocket. Third, I keep the filtration and heater's openings open and I didn't know he is so determined to go. Sounds like the movie "Finding Nemo," isn't it?
In fact, his escape coincides with my recent thinking if it's time to let him go back to where he was. After all, my duty to keep him alive has already achieved, so keep him captivated in an aquarium seems to serve more of my own interest than his purpose of existence. Not to mention he has outgrown my aquarium. If that is the case, how can I justify to keep fishy friends in my aquarium then.
So what would you do if you were me?

I walked my brother's dog this morning thinking about the same thing. The dog only gets to go out twice a day for about an hour each time (actually it's more than most dogs!). In a way, he is imprisoned. He can't spend more time outside because I have other stuff to do... :( How sad!
ReplyDeleteAbout Shrek's fishy friends... I wonder if they have a desire to be freed? Naturally raised animals do. Not sure about feeder fish... Even if they don't, do we have the right to imprison them? Will they be happier to be imprisoned in my aquarium than in the pet store, or in the stomach of other fish?
