It's tough not to get attached to something that you take care of, and you took very good care of Fish. Maybe he was just old. I like the idea of a traveling fish, reminds me of the Cat In The Hat. Do you think you will get another one?Sixteen Chickenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03430286670324547526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15430509.post-1129068166608109172005-10-11T18:02:00.000-04:002005-10-11T18:02:00.000-04:00Heck, I was SURE I was going to kill those tadpole...Heck, I was SURE I was going to kill those tadpoles/froggies this summer.

There's nothing at ...I'm sorry to hear about Fish. There's nothing at all wrong with feeling sad that he's gone.<BR/><BR/>My sister had a fish she named Killer. When she moved out of the house, Killer went into a decline, languishing at the bottom of the tank, barely eating. He would perk up whenever my sister came home to visit. He ignored everyone else.<BR/><BR/>He finally came to like my mom as much as he had liked my sister and the whole family was sad when Killer finally passed away.<BR/><BR/>Until I'd seen Killer actually know his favorite humans, I thought most fish were barely more sentient than amoebas. I think differently now. Fish are smarter than we give them credit for.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like you buried Fish in a nice place. When you get Chesapeake, be sure to take a picture for us!Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15430509.post-1128706249527131692005-10-07T13:30:00.000-04:002005-10-07T13:30:00.000-04:00I buried him in an Amish cornfield across the road...I buried him in an Amish cornfield across the road from our camper.<BR/><BR/>Flatman -- stroke of genius!
