Our Dearly Departed Goldfish

Last year, the husband and I decided to get the little man an aquarium. Ezra's therapist mentioned it was good for vision development. Being the researcher I am, I began to scour the internet for information on the best aquariums and fish for our situation. We decided on goldfish, since they are the hardiest fish we could afford and very brightly colored. There is a small, local pet store in town that we visited to find our new fish. Micah and I enjoy the british sci-fi show Doctor Who, so we named our fish after the main character, The Doctor, and his companion, Rose. Here they are below...

On Christmas Day this year, our Rose passed away. She had been sick for awhile and we tried many things to help her, but she decided she was done. We gave her the proper goldfish burial, down the toilet, and said goodbye.

 Today the mourning period was over. We piled up in the car and went to the pet store once again to find a new goldfish. Ezra loved watching all the fish swimming. I found this little cutie. He is much smaller than our other goldfish and has some black coloring as well as gold. Being the Doctor Who fans, we once again came up with a name from the show. Our new fish is named, K-9. Here he is below...


K-9 is a goldfish, however the picture isn't clear enough to see the orange coloring.



He has been spending most of his time behind the car.

Here's to hoping K-9 will like his new home as much as his last one.
