We lost two fish this spring--we accidentally filled their bowl with water straight from the tap. Whoops! We gave them a proper burial in the backyard.<BR/><BR/>But I felt guilt.

She fed them just as she was supposed to...too bad it was a 100 degree summer and she shut all the windows. Those suckers were plump and cooked by the time I got home...oh the horror!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21216363.post-3721705262960322512008-07-30T12:11:00.000-04:002008-07-30T12:11:00.000-04:00My older son didn't even seem to mind when the fis...My older son didn't even seem to mind when the fish died. Now, when my 15-year-old cat passed away, that was an entirely different story. He still randomly cries, and when I ask why, he sobs that he misses Tigger.<BR/><BR/>BTW: No funeral for either. Rusty (the fish) was flushed before Thing 1 ever work up. Tigger had to be put down due to his increasingly violent temperment due to his dementia. But, the vet did make a paw print for us and sent several cards - along with the cat's ashes in an urn that's now in the guest room because I don't know what else to do with it.Mary Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01157407295472835441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21216363.post-64229966284173819422008-07-30T11:17:00.000-04:002008-07-30T11:17:00.000-04:00Be glad you don't have a yard!
