Sunday we lost our second Beta fish to the big porcelain bowl in our bathroom. Sister Fish (named because according to Kayla she is our first fish Freddy’s “sister”) died yesterday when she swam into the boat in her bowl and got stuck.

The girls are taking it OK. As soon as they flushed her down the toilet, they immediately asked to go out and get another fish.

J got our old octagonal tank down but unfortunately it has a crack. The base is in great condition, although a new tank won’t currently fit in our budget. But instead of getting another beta, J is taking them to get two goldfish. This way if we can get our hands on any other aquariums sitting around unused (hint-hint Dad) then we can just move the goldfish to the other tank with any other fish we get.

And to ease your minds about how Sister is doing in the after-fish-life, Kayla has told us that, “Freddy and Sister are dead fish friends.”
