Froggie Extraordinaire Goes Fishing

I have a picture tale to tell.

My human and I were in my room and she was using my computer while I napped. Suddenly we both heard a knock, or a thump, coming from the beta fish's bowl. I looked and there didn't seem to be anything going on in the tank, such as the beta trying to leap out, so I returned to my nap.

Again, I heard it; then again; then again. Three in a row! After the first one I was startled and watched the tank intently while growling in the general direction of the sound. The second and third thumps happened while my eyes were focused on the fish itself. Nothing was going on with the fish and I was totally puzzled. I moved around to look at the tank from another angle and I saw this...

Evidently, the boyfrog (a.k.a. Froggie Extraordinaire) had seen movement in the tank through the glass of his own tank. He was trying to eat the fish through the glass...

Look at the look of intensity and focus! He is hunting the fish!! That frog gets honorary "dog" status in my book!

Unfortunately, there is just too much between them, and yet he can clearly see the fish, adding to his frustration...

So I looked through the bowl to see what the fish must have been seeing, looking at him and thumping on the other side of the wall, and this is what I was greeted with...

Looks hungry, doesn't he? And if it wasn't for the glass, I'd be watching him have his dinner...

And just when I thought the boyfrog had realized that he was window shopping...

He lunged again...

And again...

Over and over he continued slamming his head into the glass. He must have a serious headache. Finally he backed off and tried to ignore the tempting yet unattainable fish...

I know the pain of that tricky invisible wall the human calls "glass." It's just torture.

The end.
