Well we hope your Saturday was better than Lauren and mine’s. We attended a funeral of Nemo sized proportions. My Beta fish “Final Candidate” died today after an attempt to clean his water vase home. I cleaned his murky water bowl, attempted to feed him and noticed he was acting very strange since I placed him back in his home. He was swimming upside-down, sideways, and anyway but the right way. We’re afraid it might have been brain damage due to lack of oxgen in the transfer from dirty bowl to clean bowl. So sad.

He’d get to the water’s surface, only to be dragged back down to the little pebbles below moments later. We left him to get lunch and told him he could die in peace without anyone to watch him . . . he did just that. Gone is my lively desktop friend.

Here is a photo from the funeral we held for Final Candidate. He lived a good, faithful life. Farewell, friend.
