Fish needs a blanket

I will get the year in review post up before the end of the weekend. But I had to share this story:

So "Santa" brought Lily and Reese two adorable angelfish. The girls after a few days settled on the names, Mooty (Their name for Snoopy) and Tiger (I assumed named after one of their other xmas gifts). The girls take great pride in feeding the fish. They take turns, scream about which one is suppose to go first. So last night while we are settling into the couch, I noticed one of the fish had gone to fish heaven. He or she who knows wasn't floating at the top he was settled in on the plant kind of with his head on the rock portion. So I of course being new to this parent thing go Oh man Heather look at the fish. Which prompted the reeser to come running to the fish tank. I proceed to tell her the fish was sleeping. She kept looking at the fish going fish is sleeping. But she wouldn't stop looking at it. I pulled her up on the couch which is located close to the fish tank and she kept looking at it. Finally she says Fish wake up. She said this about 10 times. Each time emoting more and ripping heather and my hearts out of our chest. Finally she says fish sleeping, fish a blanket. At that point the room was solemn. I told her the fish was sleeping. Put the girls to bed, threw out the fish and went to petco with chava to get a replacement. Tiger or Mooty was there the next morning and reese noticed he or she had indeed waked up.

RIP tiger or mooty (or dead angel fish number 1 - with more to follow).

Loved by many, but replaceably
