This past Sunday Kaley came over for dinner- we are so happy to have her up here with us again!
It makes our lives a little more fun and we have a blast with her.
Brett was exhausted after dinner from his long Sunday, so he decided to take nap- and Kaley, noticing the dirty fish tank lovingly volunteered to clean it while Brett napped.
I decided that I should be nice and help Kaley with this task,
we began and put the fish all in their separate bowls and cleaned the rocks and plant and was ready to pour them back in...
I held the cup with the small fish over the sink and began to pour out a little of the excess water,
I thought in my mind and knew I needed to be careful that I didn't accidentally let the fish slip out through the small gap...
I knew it, and I tried really hard to just do this whole process fast...
But then...
the next thing I heard was a small 'thud' in the sink..
Not believing it could be true I frantically looked in the cup..
and no fish!
(the fish slipped right though this drain!)
I yelled to Kaley what happened, and began to panic
Brett was asleep in the room so I tried really hard to stay quiet and not scream to loud
Kaley and I couldn't believe it; I killed Brett's fish. He loved those 3 fishies together.
And I, his loving wife, killed it.
Well- I began to plan with Kaley how I would buy Brett a new fish this upcoming week and Kaley was assuring my panicked self that he would love this new fish.
All of the sudden Kaley turned into mechanic- or "plumber?" mode...
she silently and quickly opened the cupboards under the sink and began fiddling around, she unscrewed some things- some water leaked out, actually a lot of water, - and we poured a pipe full of water into a small strainer and guess what??
Bubble #1 jumped out!!
It was disgusting and yucky in there and I am hoping that the fish still won't die in a couple days from bacteria or something...
But for now we are happy to have our 3 fishies again!!

that was quite an adventure! I'm so glad little bubble was in the drain still and not whisked off to the sewers! She is pregnant too so I just couldn't bear the thought of that little fishy flopping around unable to breathe... too sad. Thanks for having me over for dinner too!!
I'll be honest that whole post I was getting more and more excited that your fish were dead in hopes that I could pawn Alby off on you, come to find out they are still alive!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL!! Thanks for sharing that great story...way to go Kaley!
Did you tell your hubby about this?!? My husband laughed :)
That was the best story ever! Glad Bubbles #1 made it through. What an adventure for him!
what?? She;s pregnant! kaley- great plumbing skills. I'm glad you saved that poor fish from dying a horrible death trapped in a pipe.
