R.I.P Rainy

We had a sad day at the Smith home last week. Our fish Rainy (sometimes called Shiny) passed away. In her/his Eulogy some kind words were spoken. She was given to Carson for his 2nd birthday and was special to Addie because she picked her out, it was raining that night hence the name.
Ben spoke of her drive to stay alive despite her malnourished little life. I admitted sometimes it was hard to remember to feed her and clean her bowl, but she made our kids so happy. We will miss you rainy, but can visit you often as we didn't flush you down the toilet for the sharks to eat, instead we buried you in our backyard despite the insistence of the parents. R.I.P our little fish.

We are sorry about Rainy. But your fourth of July pictures are great.
Love Grandma

So sad...those malnourished animals seem to have a will to survive. Who knows...perhaps Chester will join Rainy on the other side due to his poor caregiver. :)
