Burial

Posted July 22, 2008 at 10:46AM by LatteMommy

Well after three and half years our goldfish "Bubba" died.  He was amazing.  He liked to play dead so we weren't sure at first if he really was or not.  Sadly we had to break the news to our 4yr. old daughter.  She took it just fine and surprised us.  We were the ones a little bit upset cause we both have never had a fish live that long.  We decided to bury him in the ground instead of the flush burial.  Seems strange to make over a Goldfish that was only a 39 cent feeder from Walmart, but we never had one live that long.  What's the record?  I think Bubba was striving to break it.

Just after burying Bubba, DD asked as we were walking back into the house when she could get another fish.  Kids....they always amaze us.

Have a great day!

  I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!

Sorry to hear about Bubba. That is a long time for a feeder!

  Life is crazy but wonderful.

I am so impressed that you had a goldfish that lived that long. We bought our son a goldfish for christmas and it lasted 3 days. My daughter had a goldfish that lasted several months. She was about 4 when it died. One day she was standing in the bedroom with her little dead fish in her hands. She insisted on flushing it herself. I thought she would be sad, but she wasn't. Hope you find a new fish that will make your daughter happy, and one that lasts just as long.

  Goofing around with my babies - Big and Lil

Sorry to hear about your Goldfish. I'm really surprised though at your daughter's reaction.

Long Live Bubba (and Bubba 2 if that ever happens). That's not the first time a child hasn't been upset over a fish or a turtle - apparently things you can't cuddle don't make as big an impression as those you can.
