Fish funeral

A few months ago we got some fish. It was part of Ava's birthday present. The first two have done awesome but recently we added two more. The first lasted a couple days. The other one lasted a couple weeks so today we had our second fish funeral. Ava at first wanted to bury the fish but I reminded her that all pipes lead to a big place of water like a lake or ocean and that is really a fish's heaven. After finishing the funeral we walked back to the tank to find one of the original two - Rosie- dead.  Sweet Ava immediately said "oh no, we need to take Goldie (the survivor) back to the pet store." I asked why and she explained that we were taking these fish's lives by having them live with us so we should take Goldie back before she lost her life living with us too. She figured she could have a long life at the pet store. We are keeping her though and hoping for the best.

I so feel your pet pain. We've decided it's for the best to just maintain the cemetery and not add any more casualties to the list. Best of luck with the Christmas kitten.
