or did you think i was too stupid to know what a 'eugoogley' was?

Well, I use the Zoolander quote in order to break a bit of depressing news. I woke up this morning, spent time with my cats, and then went to feed my fish, Gandalf.

When I went to see him, he was lying sideways in the bowl. Sometimes he does that, so I shook the water to see if he'd stir. Nothing. I reached in to poke him, but he didn't move. I spent two or three minutes, taking him out, seeing if he'd move, trying to gauge his breathing. That's when I realized he'd died -- must have been sometime last night.

So I took him out of the bowl, washed him off, and had a little mini-funeral before sending him off to his watery burial plot.

Anyway, he had a good life -- loved his bowl and swimming around the pink coral. Next time I see LOTR and our favorite Grey/White Wizard, I will think of my cute little fish. Sigh.

Poor Gandalf! But he had a good life. Just like us, all fish have their time, but we don't all have fun pink coral to flit around!

*snugs* You're welcome to share Milton next year. Just pop on over if you need your beta fix!
