Newlyweds Josh and Rachel have been living in a
rental that prohibits pets. After a tough day, Josh was sitting in his chair
and talking to the Lord about how much he wished he had a dog. If I had a dog, he thought, he’d be right beside me, and I’d be petting
him.
Josh’s gaze wandered over to Pishy, their pet
beta. I wonder if I could pet Pishy. He
stuck a finger in the water. At first, Pishy was wary, but before long he began
coming up to the top of the water to be petted. Now, Pishy eagerly responds to
Josh’s voice, sometimes getting so keyed up he nearly jumps out of his glass. Josh
brings Pishy’s glass with him around the house so the two can be together.
In a few weeks, Rachel and Josh are moving to a
new house, one with a back yard. They’ve already picked out a beautiful dog
from the animal shelter. I’m excited for them, but I wonder if
Pishy will be jealous.
