Well our first family pet died. Our fish has been acting kind of strange lately and swimming all funny. We woke up yesterday and found him lying at the bottom of the tank. To my surprise the kids took it pretty well, I know that a fish is not the type of pet that you can hold and cuddle and play with, but I anticipated a little more emotion when we told them, we have had the fish for a year and a half. Instead MaCade yells to Brynlee, "Brynlee come look at the fish, its dead!" Maybe they should have fed him and cleaned the tank out a few more times. I think Chad and I feel worst about the fish than they do. Why do pets always become "mom's chore". That's why I can't do a dog or a cat yet.
