.Puffy.
The potentially big waves and crowds scared me off today. Instead I'm consoling myself with the reminder that I [at least] pulled a double session on Wednesday, which turned out to be the longest day of the year! Days are already getting shorter. Yuck. This morning I was supposed to get up early in order to return Puffy to his motherland [aka. the Pacific Ocean].
[This is Puffy in the right corner. My stupid camera wouldn't focus.]
When the Opihi caught Puffy in his hands Wednesday afternoon the plan was to give him to Mariko but she said that one fish can kill five and we wouldn't want that now would we? So Puffy has been homeless [and living in a glass in my room where I occasionally shake the jar to oxygenate and add tiny bits of tap h2o]. Didn't think that he was going to make it through the night [since I've had brackish pufferfish before and they were quite sensitive] but lo and behold Puffy is a fighter! I was going to return him this morning [since I couldn't yesterday] when I went to surf but I didn't go and now I've become quite attached to the little fellow. Does someone want to adopt him? He is tiny [and loveable, as all the animals I bring home often are]!
[He is the itty bitty speck beneath the "U" in my Nalgene bottle. Isn't he precious?]
I did some research thinking that maybe there was a chance I could keep him. But there isn't. Doh. He eats meat and what not and needs to live in a 10 gallon tank! He is such a needy little fish!
Also, Puffy isn't too attractive when he grows up. Have you ever seen those gigantous ten lb. puffies swimming about? Yes. I think one of them may have been Mom ...
Let me know if anyone wants a little Puffy in their life [or Mari, if you change your mind after seeing the adorableness that he is, he can be Nemo and lead all your other fishies to freedom!].
