Our Fish Funerals (Plural)

Timeline.
December 28th, 2013
Kayla chooses a little, blue fish at the pet store and brings her home.
After a lot of debate, she settles on the name "Misty."

R.I.P. Misty
Gone too soon dear Misty. We called you Misty because you seemed to hide out mysteriously in the cave and also moved very little. It’s quite possible that your water was too cold. We are not sure. We tried to make you happy and cared for you the best we knew how. But, we did not ever see you eat even a bite of our food. Everyone is very sad (except Dessie who knows that she gets to pick the next fish). We will miss you Misty!

Dessie picked out a little red fish and immediately named it Raspberry. We got her settled in her new home.
February 11, 2014
Lauren: Has anybody seen Raspberry eat any food?
Everybody: No.
Lauren: Hmmmm...

February 12, 2014
Raspberry seems to be struggling adapting to her new home. I hope we haven't created some sort of deathtrap.

R.I.P. Raspberry
Dear Raspberry, we are sorry you are gone. You were such a bright and little fish. Dessie tried to make sure you were fed everyday, but alas, we fear the weather has been too cold for you. Enjoy fish heaven. We will miss you Raspberry!

February 14, 2014
Lauren decides to wait for warmer weather to try again. Stephen insists on picking out the fish this time.

I heard Ella comment today: I miss Blueberry.
