Meet Goldie... also known as Sally 2.... also known as Rapunzel.... our fish that came to us from the Henderson County Fair. Goldie has been a great pet. She swam around that tree like it was the best tree... the only tree around. Goldie loved being apart of our family until.....
I came home from school one day to find that Goldie was not in the bowl but in the floor. We were in a hurry trying to get to gymnastics. Kyle was taking Addie and I was staying home with Drew for the evening. I was trying to find Addie flip flops and that's when I noticed the lovely orange pet was not in her lovely glass bowl. I looked around trying not to bring attention to the situation because I knew Addie would fall apart.... and there the fish was on the floor dead! I sent Addie out the door to the car and Kyle was in disbelief... the fish jumped out of the bowl into the floor... fishicide!!!!
When Kyle and Addie got in the car, I called him to ask about a plan. The plan would be for me to put the fish in the toilet and wait for Addie to get home to say her goodbyes.
Sounds like a great plan... well you have to remember the Drew factor.... because he does not think anything is wrong with a fish floating in the toilet when he goes potty. Drew peed on the fish but I was able to stop him before the flush. So know our fish is floating around in a sea of yellow. I guess it could have been worse.
Well Addie and Kyle arrived back home from gymnastics. We prepared Addie for the news. She.was.not.happy. There were tears, sobs, and more tears. We took her to the bathroom and what do our wondering eyes should appear... Goldie swimming around the toilet bowl.... She came back from the dead!
Apparently the ammonia in Drew's pee can bring fish back to life for a short period..... 12 hours to be exact. We are still looking for a new fish... maybe after the beach.
