My husband and I were walking around little Chinatown in downtown LA and everywhere we looked people were selling two silver dollar or smaller sized Res
In a plastic box for 5$. They were so cute and I felt so bad for them.. I wish I could have bought them all.

A co-worker found her in her pool skimmer... So we named him Skimmer :D

Little did I know at the time what I was getting into :?

No regrets at all, because we love him dearly and he is part of our family now and can't imagine our life without him in it.. for what looks to be a very LONG time :lol:
