Nice! I feel the same way. We have 4 goldfish from a fair from like 4 years ago. They seem invincible but I love watching them strut their shit in clean water.

I have had em for quite a while, once every couple of years one will go belly up for who knows what reason. I keep em well fed with Hikari food (expensive) and make sure they have clean water,nice plants, 6 hours of pump circulation a day and a heater in the winter to keep the ice off. They reproduced quite regularly in their younger years and I gave them away to some other pond owning folk. Now I guess they're too old to reproduce, so I may have to buy some more feeders. I'd have to set up a spare tank to keep them for a while to antibiotic treat them so they wouldn't introduce anything to my pond denizens.

I’ve had a few goldfish. All died. :(

Had an awesome little frog named Ichiro. Died.

Had a mouse named Seymor. Died very sadly. Hair turned gray within a week and then he was just barely moving. Ah! :(

No more caged animals for me.

Ha! Oh my.. I’m sorry.

As a kid we always had a family dog but the first pet my parents gave me complete responsibility over was a turtle. No joke it ran away somehow. I’ve asked them over and over and they swear they weren’t trying to protect me as a kid. Apparently I just lost track and it disappeared. The next was a frog and it died and ruined a whole summer for me.

Yr right caged animals are tough.

I have a brain cactus I bought in San Francisco in 1993 at the farmers market in Civic Center, it was a tiny thing, the size of half dollar - it has now grown to the size of a brain. Not too many people keep a cactus for 25 years, especially while living in Vermont and Maine.

horny.
