Bev-II Entertains


It’s a photo shoot, giving my newest household pet, Bev-II, (full name Beverly-II) his chance to show off for my public.

Bev-II is a beautiful almost iridescent Beta fish given to me by my granddaughter, Jai. 

There was a first “Beverly”.  It was Jai’s Beta fish who did not survive its water being changed. 

It happened one evening, not long after becoming Jai’s loving pet.  Beverly seized an opportunity to escape from the confines of his fish bowl.  The aggressive fish leaped from Jai’s care and into the lavatory drain.  Oops!  Not a happy evening in Jai’s household.  I was on the telephone with Jai’s Mom and heard the agonizing wailing as the unfortunate accident propelled first Beverly to fish heaven.

Jai brought Bev-II to live with me on June 27, 2012.  She also gave me a fish net, to ease the risk inherent in the water changing procedure.  

The nurse in my doctor’s office kindly warned me, “that fish will be dead, soon. Fish just don’t live long no matter how well you take care of them.”  We’ll see.  (I’ve found, online, much Beta fish ‘expert’ advice, which I will respect.)

For now, as you can see, Bev-II is having a great time! This photo shoot took place within a span of 10-15 minutes.  Don’t you think Bev-II performs quite well for the camera?

  2. You're welcome, honey. The least my writing can do is record meaningful history for future generations. First Beverly will not be forgotten.
