Saying Goodbye to Another Great Fish...

About a month ago our goldfish Gus died and on Tuesday night we lost Goldie (our black and white fish). The only one left now is Rocky, our Sucker fish. We bought him to clean up after the other two. He's out of a job.

Gus and Goldie became our fish in the summer of 2004 and Rocky shortly after.

In May 2005 we almost lost Goldie. We were staying with my aunt and uncle for a couple of days before we moved to Arizona. We were all packed up and had the fish in an ice chest with a portable motor attached.

While we were running last minute "moving" errands Goldie escaped the confines of the ice chest and landed on the floor of my aunt and uncle's laundry room.

My uncle had gone back into the house to get something and there lay Goldie flapping around with Maggie (their curious dog) sniffing at it. Apparently that wasn't her day to go.



We'll miss you Gus and Goldie...so will Rocky but for different reasons.
