The Replacements

Well we had our first pet casualty last night. It's all very weird...

Apple the frog was happy in his new aquarium yesterday that we purchased for him due to the foggy slime he emits when stressed. He had a brand spankin' new 2.5 gallon coal filtered aquarium with plants, gravel, and everything! Well, when Liam went to bed Apple was fine in his new house. Somehow between bedtime last night around 8:00pm and when I got up this morning with Liam around 7:30am, Apple escaped. Now, the aquarium had a lid, with only one nickel sized hole so it took an act of God to get Apple out of there. I searched Liam's room after noticing Apple was gone. Nothing. I looked and looked and finally gave up thinking Apple had spontaneously combusted. So I started on my other pet feeding rounds of the morning. I start with the dogs since they are the most verbal about being hungry. Lo and behold in the laundry room was little dried up crusty Apple. Somehow Apple made the long trek out of water from Liam's room about 20 feet to the laundry room to die. Pitiful. I immediately went into distract and fix mode. I quickly moved a new fish into Apples old tank - the beta fish Liam named "Cherry". Please welcome little Cherry to our house!

Then we went on a mission to cover up the empty old fish bowl that Apple started off in. Thank you to WalMart for having quick cheap fish!! We got 2 new "replacements" that are literally called GloFish. One is orange/pink and the other is yellow. Liam took his time naming these buddies (I think he's had some practice now naming his new pets!!) The orange/pink fish is "Little Guy" and the yellow fish is "Sunny". So, please welcome Little Guy & Sunny to the family :)
