We had a fish named Goldie. He lived in a Mason jar. He ate whatever scraps we fed him. He was a happy fish for over a year until Tiago fed him cheese and he swam upside down and died. Now he is in fish heaven with Brownie who died a year ago!

Millie was so sad when I showed her that Goldie had died. She cried for an hour. Big crocodile tears. She was so sad and couldn’t figure out “why”.

Then Tiago actually realized what we were saying and he joined in on the crying.

Losing a pet is hard, even if its a goldfish that you never really wanted or took care of!

and the little kids and I had just gone to the pet store the day before, luckily it was before the passing of the fish. We looked at fish and bunnies, ferrets, and birds, and little swimming frogs.
