I can't believe it has taken me over 3 months to write about our pets. When we got back from the US for xmas, Xiao Ju left the kids a gift. A couple of goldfish. Elizabeth named them Cherry and Berry. Both kids absolutely loved Cherry and Berry. Note I said loved. They made it about 2 weeks before kicking the bucket. We used the opportunity to talk about life and death and held a flushing ceremony.
So then came the second Cherry and Berry plus about 6 other friends. I don't think the bowl was quite big enough because they all lasted about a week. One by one, they kicked the bucket. This became a normal process and the kids did not grieve at all.
About 2 weeks ago, another Cherry and Berry showed up. Again, the kids love them. Elizabeth goes to the bowl first thing in the morning to see if we have floaters. We are down to one now. Not sure if it's Cherry or Berry!
Now you understand why we don't have a dog??????
