Sigh. We lost another pet yesterday. We started the weekend with 3 pets, and now we're down to 1. Emma's beta fish, Ruby, was discovered "belly up" in her bowl last evening. I took the other kids out of the room so that Nathan could tell her. At first, all was quiet. Then I heard the wailing. Nathan said that when he first showed her, Emma tried to be very nonchalant, saying, "It's o.k." But when Nathan told her that it's alright to cry, she broke down. The saddest part was that she thought she had killed Ruby. She sobbed, "Sometimes I forgot to feed her!" I tried to assure her that it wasn't her fault - maybe Ruby was just an old fish when we bought her (2 months ago).
If I was Ocean (our cat), I'd be worried.

I have a cat or two I can send you, if you like. You might need to launder your blankets and comforters regularly once Pipsqueak arrives....
