Unfortunately, Sally the fish has...um... passed on to a better life. She officially lived longer than any other fish I have ever had though! Well, except for Conrad who, when I left this morning *CROSSES FINGERS*, was still flipping around in his bowl! I spent 15 minutes trying to convince myself that she was just taking a really really long nap.... upside down (yeah I know, it was a far stretch)! But, she never woke up, obviously!
I "flushed" her properly and said a few words (which pretty much consisted of... "I'm sorry for flushing you down a toilet"), and my heart did kind of hurt! I feel bad for Conrad because he kind of floats around and is sad and depressed! Is it possible for a fish to be depressed?! Ha! Seriously through, Conrad is special. He likes to run into the corner of the fishbowl because he sees his reflection. He will do that for 5-10 minutes until he gets bored, and I (the easily entertained human) will sit and just watch (when I should be working on my manuscript at my desk! What can I say? Some days, I'd like to join him in the head banging! Ha ha ha!
Sally will be missed, and it seems wrong that their is a Conrad and no Sally! But I will be getting a new fish on payday! And, for those of you who are curious, it too will have a name from one of Dr. Seuss' books! But that, my friends, will have to be a surprise!
