Three-week anniversary!!






That's right! My fish have been alive for three whole weeks! This is a new record! I have had bad luck with fish.. I had 3 that lasted a week, and died after the move to camp for the summer-- the car ride was too much for them.. The one that survived (paul) lived on for another few days but was eaten by a raccoon that came into the office one night while I was sleeping. Needless to say, i came in with his food in the morning and found half of him on my desk and the other half splattered against my computer monitor.. A friend of mine got a group of campers together to hunt the raccoon and avenge my fish's death.. about 10 boys ran around with 'warpaint', sporting slogans like "All for Paul" or "Die raccoon, die".. they also had homemade weapons. It kept them busy for hours.

Dearest paul. How we miss you. How long it had been since I flushed a dead fish.

Don't you think it's cruel to keep a fish in such a small space?

they could also be in an overcrowded tank at the pet store.. that's even worse.

Congratulations Lovely! Good Job!
Ok, for a truly hilarious story visit my fellow T-Hofer Megan Bauer's page and scroll down to the post about her 'Suicidal Fish'. You will laugh your head off. Oh, and you have to start reading the comments after the post too.
Trust me, it'll be worth it.
