Au Revior, Raymond

Raymond, our pet goldfish, went back into our neighbor's pond to swim for the summer. Luke agreed to it but has been a little weepy since then whenever he thinks about it. We have agreed that he can get a new fish when we get to Maryland. He drew a picture of what the new fish will look like and boy, we'll be lucky to find such a creature. We were sad to say goodbye but glad that we don't have to worry about keeping his bowl clean in the midst of keeping everything else clean while the house is on the market. Also, I couldn't quite figure out how to move a goldfish without killing him. It's for the best, really.

Bye Raymond, we'll miss you! (I don't ever remember hearing about a pet fish.) Just wondering- who chose the name Raymond?

Carrie, compare this to my neighbor who bought goldfish to put in their wading pool and let the fish get caught (and killed) by the kids... huh?
