And Then There Were None
Pete died. The last of our two lionhead goldfish was found belly-up on the bottom of his fishbowl this morning. Autopsy results indicate that Pete did not take his own life. Jim, another lionhead, died last month. We picked these two guys up last September. We also watched after Survivor, the sole survivor of the Great Queen Victoria Goldfish Massacre of 2006. Survivor wound up dead in the same position as Pete Back in January. Jim was floating at the top of the bowl in February. The third gruesome month this year has delivered us Pete's corpse.
Dana and I miss Jim, Pete and Survivor. We're going to take a break from fish possession for a while. There are two weird notes about Pete's expiration:
- I took two photos of Pete two nights before he expired, but neither have been accessible on the camera.
- Last night I dreamt that Pete's bowl went black. The first thing I did this morning was check on Pete.
True story.
