Introducing "Phineas and Ferb". I finally caved in and allowed the kids to get a pet. I really don't care for animals or feel like cleaning up after one more thing in my life right now, but these aren't too high on the maintenance level scale and the kids love the novelty of it. We had to start out by getting fish to dirty up the tank, and then after 6 weeks, we were finally able to bring the Fire-bellied toads home. The fish are named Stripes, Luigi, and Lizard. Stripes is Hanna's, Luigi's is Jakes (he has a mustache like Luigi from Mario Bros and Lizard is Joshs'. The kids love to take turns feeding the fish and stopping by the tank to check on Phineas and Ferb. Phineas likes to bully Ferb and jump on his back and tries to strangle or mate with him (were not sure which??) We were a little alarmed at first, but after researching have come to realize this is very normal for them. They are a little territorial and like to be near other toads. They also are known to "bark" at each other which kind of wigged us out the first few days, but has lessened over time and rarely is audible anymore. Carter has since done a power point presentation for school on Fire-bellied Toads and has taught us a lot about them. Carter for sure is the most excited about our new additions as he has been asking for years to have a pet!
