Actually reading on how to euthanize a pet fish. :( Poor thing has dropsy (or is
it "the dropsy"?)... and it seems cruel to let it die slowly. Don't have a second
aquarium on hand to quarantine and treat... and, really, it's "just" a tetra. The
other three "siblings" (same variety) all look fine.

Also think the elderly woman next door is "out of the house" again. No sign of
her presence the last 2 days. :sigh:

It's just a carnival of fun here today!

i'm sorry, bear :(
with a little guy like this it should be fairly easy :cry:
i opted for watching but that's because my guy was pretty big - one of the goldfish in the outside pond and one of the crew from 1992 ........... sigh

All the "hobbyist" methods seem, well, not humane to me (freezing, beheading, snapping
neck [do fish have necks?], have-someone-detached-just-stomp-it-fast [and have them
dispose of it]). Clove oil. Vodka. Alka-Seltzer. Well, chances are good it won't survive long
ANYWAY, so I may just let it be... nature.

Back out to enjoy 72 degrees!

    Tranquility, R. I.
    An early goodnight. Going to sit out on the deck for a bit and relax. Got my hair cut today, but no puppy for BFF. There was only one there and he was a jack russell mix. She's looking for a bigger baby. It will happen when it's supposed to.

    Have a great evening, All and goodnight. Sure hope Piper sleeps through. Marsha worked almost all day on the carpet.
