    Oh poor Skipper! Even though it was a Goldfish it was a friend, and lived for a long time. I'll keep him in my thoughts. Get some new fish to cheer you up!

    I'm very sorry for your loss of Skipper. It still hurts to loose a loved one, even a little swimming one. Hugs.

    11 years? That's quite a long time for a fish. Sorry you've lost your little guy.

    Wow! The longest I've ever been able to keep a fish alive was about 1 1/2 years. How big was he?

    I remember when I had a Beta and it was sick, it bothered me so much that I had nightmares about it! So don't feel dumb for being upset over a fish.


    Thanks for the siggy, Lexi_Lover!

    Sorry about Skipper, I had a goldfish that died last March and she was five. And you really do miss them!

    I'm so sorry about little Skipper. Swim freely at the RB little one.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
