My fish died tonight. I went out and came home to find my poor little fish at the bottom of his fishbowl, his gills inflated like balloons. I asked my grandma, and she said that when she was refilling his bowl, apparently she accidentally spilled a cup of cold water right over his head. I'm not mad at her though, because she sounded more devastated than I am.

While we're on the subject of pets, I'll sadly admit that I haven't had a dog since I was 7. We had a cute little border collie puppy before that, but he was a breeding dog by nature, and the neighbors complained of his barking, so we had to give him away. :( I was pretty devastated. After that, my dad refused to ever get a dog again. I guess he doesn't like the idea of a dog living in the house, and we don't like the idea of a dog always living outside, so we never got a dog again. I've always wished we had a dog, because I love how friendly and fun dogs are. We've had several cats, but I'll admit that cats are kind of boring. I love them nonetheless, but I've always wanted a pet I could be friends with.
(Can you tell I have no life?)
The past few years, I've had a growing appreciation for birds. Parrots, in particular. I've begged my mom for one, but she's never gotten me one. I finally went to the pet store and found a parrot I adored. He was so cute and colorful and he playfully bit my finger like a friendly little parrot. BUT (because there's always a but) he was $600, so I couldn't afford buying him myself. $600!!! Gosh.

NO THAT IS NOT IN HONOR OF RUPERT GRINT. IT ISN'T, REALLY!

I don't think you have no life. I've grown up with dogs and although I'm always devastated when they die, I always have a dog and can't imagine not having dogs! My dogs are always my friends!
ReplyDeleteI'll be pretty devastated when my pets die too, look how sad I was when one ran away for a few days! I can't imagine not having a pet so I hope you get one someday :)
ReplyDeleteIm sorry your fish died. Even though it's a fish, things like that always make me really sad. Once I had a fish name flower who died because I fed her too much accidentally. It was a rather gruesome death. Then I got a hamster named Hammy but I was scared of him so we gave him to my neighbor. Yes, I was scared of a hamster! Now, I've had my dog Scout for 4 years. I have no life in the way that I treat my dog like a person. In fact, he's sitting in my lap right now. Sorry for this random babble, I have to stop before I start talking about my dog like a person. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, but pets are awesome. Whether they're fish, parrots, dogs, or cats. I absolutely adore our family dog Gambit Archimedes, and I've been really worried for her because she's been seriously ill for a couple of weeks now. I think it's ok to get attached to our pets, that way we enjoy them the most. I don't think you have no life at all.
ReplyDeleteI once had a fish called Charlie. Just sayin'.
hahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteIf I had a parrot, I would name him Mr. Cotton's.
You know, Mr. Cotton's Parrot. Yes. Pirates.
I have never had a pet of any kind. So I'm with you on wanting a pet friend. So with you.
Mr. Cottons! Hahahaha "*squawwwwk* Abandon ship, abandon ship!"
