Thank you for posting this, because now I can help others with it too. (RIP, Garfunkle and Falcon) <3

I have 7 goldfish and I love each one of them. I know every gold fishes name and never get confused which one is which. I was heartbroken when me fish Peachy, died today. She was a wonderful fish but she was different. Her mouth/jaw was dislocated so it was harder for her to eat. For two days she wouldn’t eat and she was just staying in one place. After a while she stopped breathing and died. RIP Peachy I will miss you!

My son has had several pets (dogs most of all) and he is a grown man now that still talks about how much he loved them. You have a great little man who will continue to grow and learn the value of love by your example.

So sad, I remember when my daughters fish died. She was devastated. I had her draw a picture of her fish and she hung it by her bed and talked to it every night. A few weeks later, we got another fish and she was over it 😉 kids! Thanks for linking with us for wine’d down Wednesday!

Every time my kids had a pet, part of our decision making process when buying the pet was talking to them about normal lifespans of that animal, all the things that could go wrong, all the ways that they could get sick if we didn’t take care of them properly. And then asking the kids, “So if something bad happens to the [fish, frog, hermit crab, etc] and it dies, how upset are you gonna be? Are you sure you can handle that, because it’s part of owning a pet?”
