Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers,
It might surprise you to know that Betta Fish actually have tons of personality and Blub cannot be excluded. Bettas, similar to Cats and Chinchillas tend to bond with their owners. I don’t know how many of you have seen videos of fish being pet by their owners, but here’s a really cute one I found.
Although, I can’t say that I’ve bonded with Blub as much as this fellow human has, I can say that he always knows when I’m around. Ever since we first got Blub he has always comes to the front of his tank to say hello to us as soon as he hears us come into the room. But, the sweetest thing that he does is swim to the top of the tank if we say his name. He’s a smart fish who knows what the different sounds in our house are.
For example: if he hears his food container shake he jumps out of the water to eat.
Another example: when the cats are around he knows to hide in his skeleton hideout or his floating log especially since Kalista is a truly curious kitty.
It’s been a priority of mine to make sure that Blub feels like he’s part of the family, especially after the rough ride he went through this year with Popeye. Actually, one of the main reasons I’m excited for Winter Break is for the extra time to train Blub to do some special tricks! So be ready for a bunch of cute videos and tutorials that show the bonding that happens between Blub and me!
What are some of the coolest ways your pets show that they love you! Let me know in the comments below!

October 30, 2018 at 10:19 amWhen I had goldfish as a kid, they would swim over to me but not to other members of the family. These days, Angel is the hardest personality to bond with, however every night I sit on the floor near her as she naps in her special chair, and I work on my cell phone. She often puts out her front legs to lightly touch my shoulder, which I know is her way of showing her love.

October 30, 2018 at 10:44 amThat’s really cool to hear about the goldfish. I actually haven’t really talked to my partner about whether or not Blub shows signs of bonding. He’s much more interested in Kalista and Beau, but now I’m curious to see if Blub does the same thing with him as he does with me.
I’m glad to hear that Angel has her own way of showing her love! I love when Beau does that if he’s not in the mood for cuddles. It’s kinda like saying, although I don’t want to be held I want you to know I still love ya!
