We have a fish

We received this fish as a gift.  We have actually had it for going on 5 months now.  I am so not a pet person, and have grudgingly fed and cleaned up after this fish.  Well, Mike mostly feeds and I mostly clean, but I definitely have the harder job.  I have to admit I will not be sad when this fish dies.  It should happen soon, right?  It's been 5 months!  I know, I'm awful.
Anyway, this fish was originally named Goldie.  Then a few days later Maya changed its name to Cinnamon.  It went as Cinnamon for quite a while until one day Maya told me, "Mom, Cinnamon has a last name.  It's Life."  So now, it goes by its full name, Cinnamon Life.

Ummmm.... Becky, just so you know... fish don't like regular tap water.... not that I would ever have hastened a goldfish/pet's death but.... just thought I would let you know. (We had a goldfish SENT HOME from NURSERY one Sunday!) grrrrrrr.... I think it lasted two months at our house.... two months too long for me and Clint!

Well when we fish sat for I was certain it would die, absolutely certain. I think we even were at the pet store and happened upon a quite similar replacement just in case...but I think you may have received an invisible fish - good luck!

Sam Pixton had one of those that lasted over a year maybe two, because we fish sat it two summer vacations. I tell my kids: we have kids we don't need pets.

It is not dying soon. Stuart has a male betta named Anna that has been around for almost a year. No tears here when Anna dies either.
