R.I.P. Freddie the Fish
We followed the instructions from the pet store, but still managed to lose our first fish in just under a week.
Last night I knew something wasn't right, but Freddie was, at least, still moving a bit. By this afternoon, though, there was no question about it. Freddie the Fish was gone. I felt awful when Drew teared up. Thankfully he was quickly distracted with a marshmallow and a Berenstain Bears book.
Now I wonder if we should buy another fish and risk the same thing happening again or if we should discreetly put the tank away while Drew is asleep tonight in the hopes that he forgets about it.
Six days with his little blue Freddie the Fish. Man. Poor kid. Poor fish.
