I have two dogs and I know my dogs from head to paw and their likes and dislikes. My dogs when they feel scared or intimidated they will either bark or stay away from anything that makes them feel that way. When they truly like something they wag their tail faster than a speed racing car racing to the finish line. I can tell when my dogs are sad or sick because the look in their eyes is like a humans look when they are going through the same stage, and because they don't act the same way they usually do on their daily life routine. But a fish...how is a fish going to show me signs of his likes and dislikes when all he does is swim away? I wish I can see things from his point of view so he wouldn't feel so lonely. If Mellowmoon was to swim in circles as a way of showing me that's a sign of him liking something I feel like I would know him better than anything or anyone. But he's always intimidated when I get near his tank. Maybe that's just his personality? I wonder.

It's interesting that you mention that you feel you don't know who your fish really is after reading "Am I Blue?" I feel the same way except with my dog that I've had since forever because that essay was a real eye opener. By the way, your picture looks really cool!
ReplyDeleteYour fish is so colorful! I really like how you connected your blog to "Am I Blue?" because I agree with you saying that all animals are humans. We truly don't pay as much attention to the animals like we should. Nice Blog!
ReplyDeleteGreat us of "Am I Blue?" I've never had a fish, but I've had people tell me that they believe they have a relationship with their fish. Do you think he thinks?
ReplyDeleteThis blog is really beautiful! I enjoyed it. Like seriously, wow! I loved how you compared "Am I Blue?" with your fish. I was just thinking the same thing about except with my previous pets and my pet I have now. Along with how they really feel and viewing things in their perspective! Amazing blog, keep it up!
