"Hmm, I love it when your mum comes to visit" Korra smiled dreamily up at her taller girlfriend.

Asami just giggled and wrapped her arm around Korra's shoulders, she kissed her temple and whispered, "my mum loves to cook for anyone who appreciates her hard work".

"Where I come from, the cook is always appreciated" Korra said cheerfully as she started to hurry through their home, and into the kitchen.

- - - - - -

Korra hurried over to her girlfriend's mother and hopped up onto the next free space of countertop.

"Mmmm, smells great Mrs S" Korra said as she inhaled extravagantly.

Yasuko laughed happily, "I'm glad you think so Korra dear, Asami's always telling me how much you like your food, I can finally see whether it's true or not".

Korra nodded her head happily. "Ow, definitely. My foster mum pema, is an amazing cook, I definitely learn my appreciation for food from her".

- - - - - -

Korra moaned her approval, with her mouth full of Yasuko's delicious roast.

"Ow sweet Raava. This is amazing Mrs S".

Asami smiled at her girlfriend, then looked at her mother, "Korra's right Mum, this is amazing".

"I'm glad girls, now, what are you two planning on doing today"? She asked as she took Korra's finished plate and getting her second helpings.

"Asami's taking me into town" Korra pipped up as she sat up, eagerly awaiting her roast beef.

"Oh? What shops"? Yasuko asked, stroking Asami's hair.

"THE TOY SHOP"! Korra squealed excitedly bouncing slightly where she sat.

Yasuko and Asami smiled endulgently at the younger woman.

- - - - - -

"Come on Sami .... let's gooooooo"! Korra yelled as she unclasped their hands as she ran off into the busy toy shop.

Asami giggled as she patiently followed her hyper girlfriend.

- - - - - -

"Woooow, Sami look, they've got the new remote control SatoTruck you've been working on, this is sooooooo cool" Korra said happily as she continued to pull Asami around the shop.

- - - - - -

"So, we've been round this whole shop, do you know what you might like"? Asami asked her patiently.

Korra shook her head glumly.

"What's wrong Sweetheart"?

"I can't decide which one I want the most" Korra pouted.

Asami hummed, she rested their foreheads together and whispered, "well it's a good job there's no toy limit on this trip huh"?

"Really? You mean it"? Korra squealed excitedly.

"You betch'a. Now go on, go pick" Asami said.

She smiled as Korra sprinted off with their trolley, as happy as a kid in a .... well.... a toy shop.

- - - - - -

The house was filled with the sounds of childish giggles.

Asami has never seen her girlfriend so happy.

"Sami"? Korra asked anxiously as she approached the relaxing Sato women.

"What's up Baby"?

"My PlatypusBear's broken" Korra pouted, handing over the interactive toy.

"What's wrong with it"? Asami asked as she examined the action figure.

"The voice controlled feature stop working" Korra huffed as she dropped unceremoniously onto her girlfriend's lap.

Giggling Asami hugged her from behind, "how am I supposed to fix your toy if you're sitting on my lap"?

"Your a genius right? Figure it out" Korra teased.

Asami rolled her eyes and set to work.

- - - - - -

"PlatypusBear, dance" Asami commanded.

The toy's eyes glowed as it broke into a brake dancing routine.

"Yayyyy" Korra squealed.

She jumped to her feet and started to dance along with the toy.

"She adores you" Yasuko said, smiling at her daughter.

"The feeling's mutual" Asami smiled.

"Well you know, when you're ready, I have your Grandma's ring".

"Thanks Mum" Asami smiled as they snuggled up together on the sofa.

A year later.

"Korra. Baby. You make me so happy, and I want to make you happy for the rest of our lives". Asami knelt infront of her tearful girlfriend. "Korra Waters..... will you marry me"?

She revealed a small box, showing the other girl an exquisite engagement ring, set with the largest sapphire Korra has ever seen.

"Yes" she whispered through her tears. "Yes Sami, of course I'll marry you".

"I love you baby" Asami whispered into korra's ear, before kissing her softly on the lips.

..... and they lived happily ever after ......

Froggy's Lair biospheres are unhealthy environments for African Dwarf Frogs.

These tanks (which include two African Dwarf Frogs) are not even sold at pet stores; they’re sold at toy stores, flower shops, hardware stores, vape shops, and boutiques.

Even Petco advises a tank that is a minimum of 10 gallons for African Dwarf Frogs.

While this isn’t a betta fish product, it’s an example of how aquatic pets get marketed as easy entertainment and toys for kids. Profit is prioritized above animal welfare and consumers receive wildly inaccurate information about their care.

I’m collaborating with Aquatic Ally Organization and animal advocates to address the sale and production of these harmful Froggy’s Lair biospheres which are sold by retailers like Learning Express, Ace Hardware, Hallmark gift stores, True Value hardware, and more.

These biospheres have and will continue to attract negative attention.

Please sign this petition to learn more and call for an end to these 1/2 gal and 1 gal biospheres.
