Anders is dead


My betta fish died last week. I had his funeral this morning (I flushed him down the toilet). I'm starting to lose track, but I think he was my 5th fish. Muteki was my first, followed by Lubomere, and then Blue-bomere. I feel like thre was another one in the middle, but can't remember. I used to give them all names in foreign languages that meant invincible. I didn't do that with Anders, I got his name from the host of a Swedish sing-a-long show, Allsong. Maybe I should have named him invincible in Swedish: oövervinnlig. The question now is whether I get another fish. I really want a dog for some reason, mom says I should get a cat. That means that dad could never visit, he's allergic.

No fish and NO CAT!!!! You're too young for a cat-people will only start making jokes.

That is gross that you waited so long to flush him.

I think you should get a goat.

Just as skinny....just taller.

And your idea about the goat disturbs me. He isn't really dead and they know that. :P

Hey Whitney!! So sorry to hear that your fish died... I always had terrible luck keeping them alive when I was growing up.

And good luck training for the 1/2. You will do great. I did the Lincoln 1/2 a couple years ago and it was so fun.

Why don't you email me and I can get you Kim & Cindy's phone number. dcphoto1 AT gmail DOT com.
