Zoot’s recovery, continued

Zoot as of Wednesday morning Zoot as of Wednesday morning
Zoot’s color has definitely darkened, though it’s possible this is caused by the aging process rather than by his recovery (it’s been a while since I took a well-lit picture of him).

In any case, here are three pictures of him from this morning, in good spirits and with a lot of regrowth showing. The red arrow shows how far up his fins were shredded as of Friday night. The blue arrow is where they are today.

Edit to add: My adorable nephew got a betta fish for his birthday yesterday, aquamarine, just like mine. Guess what he named it? ZOOT!

I love that kid. Today’s his first day of first grade. Wow.
