Crap, my Stupid Carp Died.

[lydamorehouse]

I guess I'm glad I didn't write this morning to report on Loki's good health.  He was, in fact, in good health until sometime today.  Just now, at dinner time, we found his lifeless body behind the Grecian ruins. 

I'm... well, I'm sad, but I'm also kind of mad.  Damn it.  I nursed that fish back to health.  He was swimming!  I was just telling naomikritzer today how I babied him by keeping the light on all night for him (he seemed to be afraid of the dark, honestly.)  Now he up and croaked on me.  Stupid carp.  Crap.

Now I have to get ready for Wyrdsmiths, and all I want to do is stand in front of the empty tank and gnash my teeth.

Ah man, I hate Loki died as well. Tender care and all, it still sucks when they die despite doing all we can.

We've had off and on luck w. fish, some were short-lived but a few (only a few) lived long lives w. us. We had a beta named Sushi La Rue was lived over 4 yrs and the cleaner fish was some sort of catfish looking fish and named Chuck Norris - he lived almost 4 yrs as well.

Good luck w. the writing; I still think fondly of the Garnet series. My niece has two Vampire Princess books and I will be able to get them from her at the holidays.

Awww. At least he had a good life for the week or so he was in your dining room.

Dang it. Frustrating when you tried so hard to keep him alive!
