Over the past few months the kids go onto a “we need a pet” kick. The kids have begged and begged to have a dog. They have wandered the block we live on selling anything they thought would raise any money for a dog. Natalie and I were very specific about the dog we were going to get. But the dog was a very expensive dog. Well the dull roar of the kids turned into a deafening thunder and I started to feel very bad about getting a dog. It was making me so sick that I finally had to tell the kids that I didn’t feel like it was right to get a dog. The mere thought of grooming, vet bills, shots and food made it even worse.
I talked to Natalie and let her know my thoughts and let her know that if the kids wanted fish then I would be ok with that. I have always wanted a fish tank. I have always found fish tanks to be extremely relaxing and beautiful. We talked to the kids and they were all for getting a fish tank. Well the deafening thunder was still overwhelming and so Natalie and I started looking into getting a tank.
We talked to a friend of mine that has a fish tank, and found a great deal on the tank. We got a 55 gallon tank. Well you can’t put a fish tank on the floor, and all of the places we looked were charging anywhere from $150 to $800 for a fish tank stand. So I called (Brother) Brian, and explained the predicament. I let him know that the kids were chomping at the bit.
Brian was awesome, he dropped everything he had and made a miracle happen. Two days later he was at the house and building a tank stand for us.
Brian had some walnut wood that he was able to use and he built us the perfect stand for our tank. It is absolutely beautiful.
Thanks so much Brian for dropping everything and helping us out. It turned out great.
