R.I.P

August 2005-October 2008
Today we bid farewell to our beloved goldfish. He died from an age related illness. Mr. Fish joined our family 3 years and 2 months ago. Josh was just 17 months old when we brought Mr. Fish home from Petco. Mr. Fish loved to swim, eat, swim and eat. He loved having a clean tank to swim in. Eventually Mr. Fish got so big we had to take the rock out of his tank. He survived many long vacations taken by his owners, being fed bread by one enthusiastic boy, and many days of no feeding because his owners forgot. Mr. Fish is survived by Darrin-his primary caretaker, Kim, Josh, Andrew and Luke. May you rest in peace, Mr. Fish. Thanks for the memories.
(The kids were not broken up at all about Mr. Fish's passing. They found it quite intriguing that we flushed him down the toilet.)

Congratulations! Oh, I mean condolences... Do you wonder... we hope we get to have our beloved dogs and cats after the resurrection... do you think there is a chance we could get the fish too????

I would have killed that fish the first week I owned him. What a trooper!! Are you getting another?

Nathan wonders if it was a good idea to flush in front of the you-know-whos! You may want to put extra surveillance in the johns until further notice. :)
