We had an extra splash of color in our living room this week. AJ was asked to "fishsit" a little guy named Fred while our neighbors were on vacation.I'm very happy to say that Fred the goldfish has now left us... via the front door, NOT the toilet drain. Our neighbor had joked when he dropped him off that it wouldn't be the end of the world if Fred hadn't survived his week with us. But I assured him that if something happened to Fred, then they would find a look-alike goldfish, who answers to Fred, swimming in the bowl upon their return.
AJ was quite enthusiastic about caring for Fred. The only time we ran into trouble was Friday morning. AJ convinced the babysitter that he needed to feed the fish. Let's just say the water was pretty murky later in the day. We cleaned it up, cut Fred's rations for the day and all ended well.
How did the cat like Fred?
