Awww. RIP Rosa!!! You were the prettiest pale goldfish I’ve ever seen!!! (and love that she got a proper, not aquatic burial)
Hugs to you and Tornado!!!
Dear Rosa, may the water be warm and the plastic mermaids plentiful where you are! Bless the Tornado’s heart I hope she’s doing okay with it. We have a fish that is shockingly still alive despite being fed 600 times a day. But I may soon be asking you for tips…

April 25, 2012 at 5:33 amI’m impressed you buried her, instead of the flushing ritual. You can tell she was a very loved fish!
Miz says
April 25, 2012 at 5:36 amTHANK YOU. I’m reading these to her, too.
Uh the Tornado.
Not Rosa.
Poor sentence structure 🙂

Cat @ Breakfast to Bed says
April 25, 2012 at 5:57 amnot a traditional “water” burial? I like it.
misszippy1 says
April 25, 2012 at 6:05 amPlus one to what Cat said above–this does beat the alternative burial!
Dick Carlson says
April 25, 2012 at 6:26 amMom used to tell me the fish had gone to live on my uncle’s farm, where there was lots of room to run and other fish to play with.

Colleen says
April 25, 2012 at 3:02 pmSuch a sweet memorial. No matter how small a pet may be, they are still a member of the family.
Shira says
April 25, 2012 at 3:44 pmRosa wasn’t a fish of many words, so I’m sure we would have appreciated this wordless method of honoring her memory. Clever!
Lori says
April 25, 2012 at 6:47 pmSo sad – may the beloved fish rest (swim?) in peace.
Here’a video of a very touching fish memorial service:
