A good fish


Jenelle has fish for a pet. Until recently that is. Her three tetra are Sprinkles, Crackers and Bubble Gum. Bubble gum died a long time ago. Crackers died last week. So I went out to Petsmart and picked up two new fish. Jenelle named them Blueberry and Caroline. Two days later one of them died. So I ran out and got a replacement before Jenelle got home from school. The very next day another one died. Ugh. A few days later the third new fish died. Sprinkles was still going strong, but not for long.

Last Wednesday Carly and Jenelle saw Sprinkles struggling. She was trying to swim up to the fish food, but she could barely keep herself going. In the morning, Sprinkles had passed.

We're all very sad. Jenelle and Carly made a lovely burial stone for Sprinkles. We buried her in the backyard. She was a good fish.
