R.I.P. - Nemo x 4

Well, we had our beloved Nemos for two days. They were good pets that always brought smiles to our faces. They lived a good life and always swam with all their might. BUT tonight we had to say farewell and send them on a ride down the porcelain express. I was actually getting quite attached to the little guys too.

It is a sad story. The tank was really gross because all the food had sunk to the bottom. Nemo x 4 didn't like to eat with Isaac yelling at them so many times they missed their chance before their food would sink. When Shaun got home he decided that he was going to take the fish out and clean the tank. He did so and when he filled it back up he made the water too warm. About 20 minutes after the cleaning I was standing in the kitchen and noticed the fish weren't moving. Poor little guys over heated! And Shaun calls himself a paramedic!?! Isn't he supposed to save lives? Actually, it's my fault too. We finally read the tank's directions and we did everything wrong. One thing being that you are never supposed to fully empty the tank. Isaac doesn't know that mommy and daddy killed his Nemos so hopefully we can make it to Wal-Mart tomorrow before he notices.

On the bright side. There has been a little kitten crying outside our window all day. I'm on my way right now to go and save his/her life. Shhhh, Shaun warned me not to........


P.S. You may need to read the previous post to understand this one!
