Pets

James has been wanting a fish for awhile. He and Lynnlee had a sticker chart for good behavior and after it was all filled up we went to Petsmart and bought a goldfish for James and one for Lynnlee. We figured they were the easiest pets you could have but we doubled checked with the Petsmart employee on how much to feed them, how often to change the water, etc.

Not more than 24 hours later they had both died. Marshall bought some replacement fish on his way home and put them in the bowl before James and Lynnlee even noticed they were dead. Not even an hour later one of the fish died. I promise you these weren't our intentions. We used the correct water temperature plus water treatment drops and everything. Who would have though goldfish would be the most difficult pet? So after a few days of buying new fish to replace the ones that died, we decided we needed to try a new pet. After the last goldfish died we had a short talk with James and Lynnlee about death and then we purchased a frog.

It's only been a few days but it's definitely more entertaining and less maintenance. I hope he will be around for awhile.
