Fishy Went Bye Bye

You would think that anyone could have a pet fish.  It seems like the perfect pet for a toddler.  Its safe from his dirty hands in his little fish bowl; can go about his business without really being bothered by others.  Well somewhere in that perfect little world something wasn't so perfect.  We found Monk floating at the top of his little blue tree yesterday.  I'm not sure what exactly got him, but he was definitely not doing too well.  Lukas started out thinking he was asleep.  I told him I didn't think he was sleeping but that he had died.  Lukas was a bit confused as to how he died, (even blaming Grandma who was here visiting) and thought we could still keep him.  He was perfectly content with keeping a floating fish in the bowl to look at.  I on the other hand was not.  We discussed with him the different options we had, flush him, trash him, or bury him.  When we mentioned flush he freaked out so that was quickly eliminated.  We decided to go with the burial since Lukas loves to dig in the dirt.  I think we had a good send off for the little guy.  Not sure if we will attempt at Monk #2 any time soon or not :)
