Our first "pet"

So, last Sunday we pick up Gabi from nursery and low and behold she has a fish in a huge bag of water. "Mommy look I got a fishy and fishy food!" K.C. had not walked out of class yet and you can imagine his reaction to find out the Moultrie's have their very first pet!

Liv becomes estatic to find out we have a fish and they are fighting over holding it in the car. Then, we get home and get out a bowl with rocks and put the fish inside. Liv walks up to K.C. and says, "Dad, you said all pets were messy but now you REALIZE they are not all messy!" CALLED OUT!

So, the week goes by and we hit up Pet Smart to figure out what I need to do to keep this fish alive. The guy tells me the only way for the fish to survive is to buy a huge aquarium. UH, NO!! So, I tell him that is not going to happen and he lets us bring in the fish. Liv was crushed until K.C. explained we were like Diego and The Wonder Pets, saving the goldfish and taking him back to friends. A movie from the video store helped, too!

Our first pet lasted only a week, but at least we perserved his life and improved the quality by about 100%!! Bye, bye Coral!
