fish update
Update on the fish. One of my guppies has died. Despite the subject of the previous entry, I'm fairly sure he didn't starve to death. Condolences can be sent to the remaining fish at guppy01@greyfence.com. A flushing will be held in lieu of a funeral.
I now have a single lonely guppy. This is the same situation I was in months ago with my first cat which led to the arrival of the fish initially. Quandary: do I get another fish to keep him company again -- they were a playful pair when both were alive -- or let the poor ratter die of loneliness. I'm not terribly excited by fish as pets as it turns out but I do like my pets to have enjoyable lives.

Would you like to be the only male in the world starring at yourself day in and day out in a world of non-humans? A fish needs to meet others of its kind, eye-to-eye, as you do - human eye-to-eye.

I had the same thought so went out and bought another fish to replace the expired guy. He lasted just a week...new fishie died yesterday. I think this marks the end of my experimentation with finned friends.
