Kailan got 4 new fish from the pet store after we couldn’t find anymore survivors in the pond.

Unfortunately, one of them didn’t make it a week.

Kailan is such a soft heart, and got teary-eyed when he found Dragon floating in his tank.  I fished him out (pun intended 😉 ), and stored him in the freezer in a plastic bag.  Another fish burial was scheduled for the next day…or so.

I made a classy cardboard and duct tape coffin for him and we buried him in the fish grave yard.

The last rites.  It went something along the lines of, “He was a good fish.  He was very nice and very shy”.  Kai said he was the last to the food, so who knows, maybe he didn’t get anything to eat before the rest got the food.  In that case, he really wasn’t long for this world.

The internment.  It was a quick burial.  No dilly-dallying.  It was only around 40 degrees and we were freezing!

I’m sure another trip to the pet store will be forthcoming…
