Spring is here, and the weather today was glorious ~ 79 degrees in No. Calif! My dog, Max, found a comfortable landing spot to view the birds and the bees in my back yard.

You are right, pre. We do have a beta tank, actually, two (maybe three). We were so sad when Alexander died, it's been hard thinking about getting another. 😢
We have been contemplating getting a kitten. I have had cats all my life, up until the last few years. Also talking about another doxie, but I really don't know how Bits would take to either one.
She seems content being an only pet. Up until now all my previous dachshunds wanted other doggy companions. I've always had dachshunds in pairs.
When Lucy passed last year, I watched for Bits to feel down, depressed, lonely ... it just didn't happen. Which is we started thinking about a kitty, since their interaction with other pets is different, thank Day, the interactio, between two dogs.
Here's a recent picture of Bits. I think this one turned out well. Looks more planned, than many shots I get, where her head is slightly out of focus, from turning away from the camera.
This is Max.

What beautiful brown eyes you've got, Bits! 
Great shot of her, Savanna. And I like Pre's black & white conversion -- so professional!
Bits actually looks similar to my Annika (Blue Heeler), with the black/tan coloration, especially the tan spots on the "eyebrows".
