farewell fish
November 1st, 2006 by Lawrence David
we sold our beloved fish tank today
the big tank was getting to be too much work for us. christina and i were both a bit upset; we had raised most of the fish in there since they had been fishlings. more importantly, the fish had all gotten through our bumblings as first-time fish owners. those fish are survivors.
poor christina even looked a little misty-eyed – she fed them each morning and talked to them daily.
i think we may get less time-intensive pets in the near future. until then, there’s a big empty acrylic fish tank in our hearts.
