"Belly-Up" and I don't mean at a bar




Me: "Oh No, we've got a floater"
Daddy: WHAT? It's DEAD?
Me: "Sshhh... yes, I'm afraid so"
**Daddy comes in and scoops the poor life-less fish out and puts it in a plastic baggie**
**Landen comes in his room, climbs up his step-stool to see his new friends**
Landen: with so much excitement in his voice "My FISHES!!!!"
** he looks around in the tank with a puzzled expression on his face**
Landen: "Where's the udder fish?"
Me: "He's at the doctor honey."
So we upgraded the tank to one that has a filter/light/more room etc. Daddy took the deceased back to the store for a new one.

That's kind of funny, Daddy will return from the "doctor", and Nemo will be all better. Landen won't even know the difference.

We never had very good luck with fish. House plants and fish, I kill them all!!

Better get one that "matches" Belly Up Boy. With as smart as Landon is...he will know!

Poor fishy!

HA! Daddy totally got one that matches "Kyla" the black one....LAnden was happy to see them "both" swimming around in their "new" home this morning.

NOW.... Land has croupe AGAIN!
