Romeo & Juliet - Our First Family Pet

Romeo in his tankWhen we went to the Dixon May Fair last month, both Carissa & Maia won a fish in a ball toss. We brought them home in a little tiny tank. I thought it was too inhumane, so $100 later, we had a 5 gallon tank. Who knew winning some fish at a fair would be so expensive. Juliet lived only one week. We believe Romeo killed her by starving her. Romeo didn't really like Juliet. She would follow him everywhere and he would try to swim away from her. Now that she's gone, he swims everywhere and is so happy. He even grew in size. The tank is in their room and they love Romeo. Carissa said, "I love Romeo right in my heart and I will always love Juliet right in my heart - I'm sad that she died." Maia said, "Goldfish don't live a long time. It's a good thing Jesus died for us so that people can live a long time because it's sad when people die."

I'm amazed that Romeo is still alive. I've never had much luck with fish. They always die.
