A Farewell To Our Dear Goldfish Buddy!

So our oldest child Buddy passed away the night before last we could tell he wasn't doing good and tried our hardest to keep him going but he didn't make it :(

He lasted far longer then the 6 months I bet he would last when I first got him. A little background if you don't already know I received him as a feeder fish from my college diving coach for making it to nationals, we named him Buddy High Dive! That was almost five years ago!

Last picture of him!


I was a little worried that Emily would be sad that he was gone because she said hi to him pretty much ever day; all she said was "gotta get a new one Mommy!" We are going to let the water sit for a little while to let it regulate and then we will go out and get a couple feeder fish since they are so hearty!

We saved ya from being eaten Buddy; we can't believe you went through so many moved in a culligan water jug, survived countless drops into the sink, and outlast three other tank friends!!

I hope he had a proper burial. We used to bury our goldfish in tape cassette holders. Then a few months after the burial we would dig them up to see a tiny fish skeleton. I know, a little morbid but that was when we spent all day outside instead in front of a computer or tv like nowdays!
