"I Just Want to Drink Me Some Wine..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

My dear, sweet fishies died. I went to feed them this evening and they were both dead.

Cyrano was at least two years old. He was a foot long and had the most beautiful whiskers in the whole world. Levin was only a year old, but he was eight inches and one of those beautiful gold and white and black speckled koi that are so pretty. They both came when I called them, and Cyrano sometimes would eat from my hand.

Mama is worried that it might be something on the bottom of the pond, since Cyrano definitely was a bottomfeeder and she thinks Levin might have been too; but Maria thinks it's the blue heron from the Mahantango (only if it were the heron, wouldn't it have eaten them instead of leaving them?).

I already miss them so much. RIP, beauties.

Oh, I'm so sorry. People occasionally think that losing fishies is somehow less traumatic than losing other pets, but they are quite mistaken. May your fishies rest in peace. ♥

They are under the rosebushes now, which makes me feel a little better: at least there is a certain order to the world, and what is dead will help to keep something else strong and healthy.

Oh, dear, I'm so sorry! I doubt it was the heron, but it might not be a problem with the pond, either--sometimes fish just get sick.

But both of them on the same day? That's why I'm worried about it being the pond or something.

[holyschist.livejournal.com]

It's possible; I dunno. Maybe you can get the water tested? That really sucks.

And the rest of the fish are okay! I have about forty other ones that are goldfish of varying size, from some that have to be about three or four years old to babies from last year. Agh.

They are very mourned.

I'm sorry. :( That would be heartbreaking, I'm sure.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It is very terrible.

This is not a good month for us.
