Dennis the 3rd is going out fast. Patti and the kids are away and I noticed today that he was hanging out near the surface of the fish tank, upside down, gasping for air. I tapped the tank and that kicked him back to life. Later that day he was more upside down, if you can believe that, and he had a look of death in his eyes. I swear if he could talk through his fish mouth he would say that death was at his door with a black robe and sickle. Crap, I am going to have to get another stupid goldfish tomorrow at the Pet Rodeo. Both Emily and Ethan are into the fish now, even though Emily is showing less of an interest and Ethan looks like he wants to eat them. I need to run an investigation and find out what the cause of death was. Dennis held his own against Sally so it must have been something else, not sure what, maybe murder. I am going to find out, and if Sally was behind this, her ass is down the main-floor half-bath toilet. Believe it.
Not sure why this stupid lineage of fish has to die when I am home alone. I sometime wonder if I replaced the live fish with two plastic toy fish from the bath would anyone notice. Patti included. At least we wouldn’t have to buy goldfish flake food.
Stayed tuned for an update. Dennis is alive right now but fading fast. He lasted the longest so my heart is with him, the little scale-covered tike.
