Naw, she doesnt like being picked up period <g>.  

Right now, she'd hiding and slightly miffed.  Even though she got fed her
favorite fancy feast ;-)

See, we just setup the first fish in the tank.  You'll see notes in the
aquarium echo if you get it. Short version, 70gTall type tank, been fishless
cycling 2 weeks and now it was time to skip to the first hardy fish.  So,
it's now got 2 tiny dwarf albino catfish, and 4 dwarf gourmai.  All will
grow to 3-4 inches max.

In 2 weeks, it should be ready for a few more fish.

Meantime, Daisy is _miffed_.  See, the design of the room means something has
to be by the fish tank and cant be too tall or it blocks the light switch so
it has a lowish bookshelf right next to the dog-den with her pillow ontop of
that.  Perfect leap.  She was obviously looking forward to going fishing!

Nope.  Now there is a 1.5 ft tall plastic GODZILLA staring right down on her
from that shelf.  (snicker).
