Yes, I am happy to say I have Silver 3 in the tank and he is swimming around swimmingly! He and Mr. Eelers appear to be getting along very nicely. We'll see if they are both alive when I come home from work tonight.Hunter didn't notice at all that Silver 2 was missing last night. This morning at breakfast I thought I was gonna get busted, but he didn't notice then either! PHEW!
I hightailed it over to PetSmart today and they didn't seem to find it odd that I was replacing a fish to cover up the death of another. Apparently parents all over town, the state and the country are doing this too. I felt better about my deception at the realization of that fact.
I forgot to tell you about 3 other fish I killed a long time ago. I was cleaning the tank over my Grandma's kitchen sink - 1 fell out...turned on the disposal.....water was too cold when I put the remaining 2 back in...shock immediatley killed #2 (he curled up like the letter "c") , then there was only #3 left in the tank. He swam sideways for a few days, then floated gracefully to the top. Whoops.
Maybe I'm not a pet person.

***For the record, Sweetie Cat ran away, Tiki the Cat was NUTS and we gave him to the cleaning lady***

JANUARY: when are you ever going to tell him the truth??
JANUARY: Silver can't live forever!!!
TRACY: Silver will go to college with Hunter
JANUARY: and you'll have to sneak in his dorm room and replace him every few months
KT - get him something that doesn't die, like a puppy!!!! Those are harder to kill. Or a pet sibling like Angelina. You can pick one up in Thailand or Africa!
TAMI - Maybe you should start slow..buy him a picture of a puppy...then a stuffed puppy
ADI - how did he not notice a missing shark last night?
