The Short and Sad Story of Dorothy and Bob



As you know, Kenadi's birthday is tomorrow. So, last night we all went birthday shopping. I have really wanted Kenadi to have some sort of pet. Something inexpensive, and good for her to learn with. Well, at Wal-Mart last night we decided to get her 2 goldfish that look like Dorothy from Elmo's world (it's the one show I let her watch). She was looking at all the fish in the tanks and calling them Dorothy, it was so cute. So, we got her some fish for her birthday and named them Dorothy and Bob. All last night she was looking at them, saying, "Dorothy! Bob!"

Well, we have never had fish before, and we didn't know that you have to buy a water conditioner until last night when we were washing the rocks and putting them in the bowl. We decided that the fish could last through the night and we'd get conditioner in the morning. Well, sad to say, they didn't last through the night.

You can tell that there are no fish in there now. I debated on taking a picture of Randy flushing them, but decided that it was too morbid. Poor Kenadi. She woke up and went to the bowl saying, "Bob?" I had to tell her that Dorothy and Bob went to visit Elmo for the day and would be back tomorrow. Better luck next time, huh?

Poor Bob and Dorothy,
You can use distilled water and it is much better than tap water. Also there is a simple air pump that will help keep the water oxygenated (sp). Love your bog! Love Grandma S.

Awww. Poor Kenadi! At least the fish never got bleach water poured on them.(Idk if you remember, but I accidentally did that. Theywere scals by the morning.) Maybe try letting your water sit in the garage for a couple of months, if you ever have the time. Love,
