He was a good fish . . .

I am sad to report that Saturday evening, about 9:37 pm, our fish, Joe, swam his last stroke. We found him lying on his side at the bottom of the fish bowl. Karl and Parker carefully flushed him down the toilet (all drains lead to the ocean) headed to his final resting place. He was a good fish.

Last Wednesday Willie and Parker and I took Elliott to PET SMART. Elliott was fascinated by the fishes -- he loved them. So, being the good Grandmama I am, we bought a goldfish for Elliott. When we asked Elliott what the fish's name was he said, "JOE".

The fish stayed at Grandma's because Elliotts's parents weren't too excited about taking it home. Well, we enjoyed Joe while he was with us. He came with a two week guarantee -- I guess we could take our 26 cent receipt back to PET SMART if we wanted to, but it's a little too soon to replace him now.
