Yes we have a new guest at our home and she will be staying with us for a week. Her name is Goldy! She is my friend’s goldfish. My friend is going on a trip for a week and she has asked me to take care of her goldfish. I wanted to bring a pet home, but mumma said I need to grow up a bit to be able to take care of a pet. Since I got Goldy, I will show mumma that I can take care of pets even now.
Goldy is very beautiful – she has a beautiful tail and her skin looks like real gold! It is so shiny! She also responds to her name. I was a bit afraid to bring Goldy home, since I was not sure whether I would be able to take care of her. But now I am quite confident. My friend has given me a chart that lists everything from her food habits, sleeping time, water change and everything else. She has also given me some fish foods that I will be feeding her throughout the week.
Mumma and dadda have also fallen in love with Goldy, so I think they won’t stop me from bringing a pet anymore. I did some research about goldfishes, before bringing Goldy home, so that I can take good care of her. While studying about goldfishes, I came across some interesting facts like:
- Goldfishes can recognise human faces
- With proper care, goldfishes can live up to 40 years
- Goldfishes are available in variety of shapes and colours
- Goldfishes can see more colours than humans
- They love eating fishes!
- Goldfishes can’t blink
There were many more interesting facts about goldfishes. I also read a lot about caring for goldfishes.
My friend has decorated Goldy’s home very beautifully! She lives in a large round bowl. It has layers of colourful stones, a fountain and a small house. It looks beautiful! My friends told me I don’t need to change the water, if it is not too dirty. I need to feed her twice daily with fish food!
Goldy is the first pet in my life and I am very excited to have her. I love pets and wish I could have Goldy forever! I know that is not possible, because my friend also loves her too much! But I promised I will take best car of her. I have kept Goldy in my room, so that I can talk to her and spend a lot of time with her. I promised her that I will draw her photo and keep it with me forever.
One more thing I forgot to share with you all! Goldy loves music, so now we are going to turn on some music and enjoy it together. Do you have pets at your home? Tell me about them. I would love to hear about them from you!
