Ive never been so in love and obsessed with an animal since my childhood cat soho was put into a little box and brought into our home when i was 8. I adore soho but i didnt really understand how owning a pet financially and responsibly was by myself until her.
Its weird though , ive owned other animals in these tanks before but something about duchess is so oddly personable like a reptile. I cant handle her but we still interact with sticks and toys. According to her batch number she turned 1 yesterday.
They cant love me, obviously. Her brain is too tiny and organized in weird ways to do so but the trust she has in me not hurting her when i clean the tank feels just as meaningful.
Now while this is a lovely wall of text may i mention this is the same animal i had to take the wave maker out of the tank of because she shredded an entire fish in it? She did that.
Happy 1st birthday you awful creature!
