Alyssa, I just have to ask.....how can a goldfish be a pain in the neck? Ha Ha!!! I guess you mean cleaning out his bowl! That is a pain in the neck!!

Clarice sounds like a real love. Isn't it fun to have one that belongs to you, and you alone? I know how I felt when I finally got my first pet that I could call "mine" (and it was a cat too), but I had graduated from college when I finally did! So you are very lucky!!!

Hug all the furry babies...and you can just tell the fist I said "hi" !!
