down to just hours

RIP Frederick the betta. He's been on a downward spiral lately, so I wasn't surprised to find him this morning. What does surprise me is mere hours later, I got another betta. Probably because I have little else to do, so I could go to Petsmart. Usually the employees let me look at nearly every betta without a word. I think they had nothing to do today, because 2 asked if I needed help. They understood that I had to look at them all before choosing one. Fred was turquoise, and new guy is royal blue. No trace of a name has even come to mind yet.
