In Remembrance

Rainbow was a good fish. She loved to swim back and forth, back and forth, in her little home. She had the most beautiful colors. But, alas, she has gone on to a better place and Raeley has had her first taste of pet death. Already? you may ask. Despite being fed, Rainbow didn't really ever eat and was quite lethargic from the beginning. (maybe they have a warranty?! it's not even been a week) It was a sad morning, tears were shed and Raeley did not want to send Rainbow to her watery grave. Unfortunately fo her we don't want a rotting, stinky fish in a bowl. I was reminded of a friend at work, who when buying a hamster for her son, made sure to tell him that hamsters are stressed out pets and often don't make it through the first night and they may be replacing him. Fish really are the same. Why didn't I think of this friend before? Next time.
