I just found my goldfish...
November 18, 2006dead on the floor. I don't know how he got there. I don't know when it happened. All I know is that I he didn't come up for food when I sprinkled fish flakes in his bowl tonight. He wasn't even in the bowl, he was on the floor, dried up and dressed in cat fur. I had done such a good job barricading him from Aalar, but he'd been jumpy lately. He must have leaped out? Aalar still looks for him. I don't have the heart to tell him why he's gone for good. Hmmm. It was a good run though. Goodbye Spazzy the Rainbow Chaser.

aww, that's how my goldfish died years ago. his name was otto - named after the book 'otto, a fish out of water' - go figure. apparently he needed to explore the world beyond his little tank. so i found him dried up and stuck to the kitchen counter. the first time. he came back to life when i put him back in water, but he swam with a limp on the side that stuck to the counter. however, his second attempt was slightly more dramatic and... poor otto didn't make it.

Ohhh, I'm really sorry. I wonder if that's a common occurence, fish jumping out of their bowls. Maybe he was chasing a rainbow?

damn. on the upside, at least you don't have a kid who flushed it down the drain because he wanted it to go home like in finding nemo. this phenomenon was reported to roto rooter a lot. no joke.
be good, spazzy.
(bag was at trinity, by the way.)
