Sigh. So much for not spending anything!<BR/><BR/>Green Bean - I am so sorry to hear about your cat. Animals hold a special place in our hearts and our family. I hope for the best for you and your kitkat.<BR/><BR/>Chile - LOL, Connie is an AWESOME name. I know you're right about the tank and bubbler, but I was thinking this guy probably wouldn't live for more than a day or two, coming from hose water and all. Of course, now he's zipping around the bowl like mad looking healthy as a horsefish. Mystery has already gotten us for $20 for gravel, a bowl, castle and food. If he makes it a couple more weeks, I will see if I can find an inexpensive tank and bubbler. Just one more thing for me to clean... Though, I enjoy knowing you rescue fish too!EcoBurbanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931648017376435556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782626612277999475.post-24931553640978983312008-07-28T19:56:00.000-04:002008-07-28T19:56:00.000-04:00I have a goldfish named Connie. I'm sorry to say ...I have a goldfish named Connie. I'm sorry to say that I won him (?) in a street fair pingpong ball toss that I only participated in at the request of an ex-co-worker whose daughter was running the booth. So, I brought the fish home and we plunked him in a bowl. The next day, I bought gravel and food.<BR/><BR/>We started researching goldfish and their care, finding out that they need more oxygen, really, than they can get from the surface area of a fishbowl. They'll live healthier and longer with a tank and with an aerator. So, we bought the fish a tank and an aerator.<BR/><BR/>This 10 cent streetfair fish has now cost over $100. I was <I>conned</I>. Now you know why his name is Connie.Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782626612277999475.post-23317676908484415222008-07-27T23:17:00.000-04:002008-07-27T23:17:00.000-04:00Okay, again, my eyes welled up reading this. You'...Okay, again, my eyes welled up reading this. You've got to stop doing this to me. Or possibly it is because my cat of 15 years - pre-husband, pre-kids, will likely have to be put to sleep tomorrow. <BR/><BR/>How is it that we are able to distance ourselves from living things? Shut off part of our heart and see only what we want, what we think is convenient or fun? You are so right that we need to teach our children to treat animals well and also that even if we just save one small thing - if you just save this one small fish - it is making a difference. For one small fish and one small boy.Green Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133847111288382381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782626612277999475.post-48251524042761087042008-07-27T21:39:00.000-04:002008-07-27T21:39:00.000-04:00You should name it Lucky, instead!
