wyo sis said...: My daughter went into full meltdown when her goldfish died. we had to have a burial...no flushing. She was about 10 at the time. So, yes it's possible to feel affection for a fish.; 6/16/12, 12:58 PM
Bayoneteer said...: Very nice. Me though i'd have buried him/her at the base of my favorite American Beauty bush. Sort of like a "living memorial" kind of thing.; 6/16/12, 2:33 PM
