We had goldfish for quite a while (amazingly so). I always thought that the secret to their long life was that we forgot to feed them. Of course, one day we forgot a little too long…
My daughter decreed them most.boring.pet.ever. The only thing that was interesting about them is that we bought them in a pet store that used to be where Lox is now, on the first block of Putnam where it runs into Fulton. The guy who owned the store was always kind of high but he sold us this great liquid to make the water ok–Dona, I looked for it online but didn’t recognize it on any of the sites I saw. Our 2 fish were in a 10-gallon tank with no filter and it just didn’t cloud up as long as we added the drops. The last time we were there, the guy was apparently taken over (he was still there but he had company) by his dealers, and then the marshall’s sticker appeared on the gate.
My condolences, Dona, but of course you know that giving a goldfish a birthday is anthropomorphizing it right?
No, nothing like that, bxgrl. Maybe he’s swimming around in the NYC sewer system now, cursing me out, but I think he is pretty dead or was pretty dead. Damn, I am traumatized.
Arkady, really? I am still concerned he might have just been “resting” and not really fully dead. (Reminds me of the Monty Python dead parrot routine).

my cat loves to eat the tips off asparagus.

Well, I only had him for one day, but I was starting to really like him.
Story of my life.

“She is our specialist at fish resurrection.”
ROFL! It was a very ‘special’ moment! : P

Tks, CGar.
dona – You should’ve had CHiller over before you buried him. She is our specialist at fish resurrection.
Oscar levitated? Did his head spin around and did he spew pea soup?
