One More Gone

We lost Goldie (one of our goldfish from the Fall Festival) last night. I went to feed the fish this morning as I always do and there was only 1 fish swimming around. I looked all over the bowl and didn't see the other one floating... all I could think was that the one fish remaining ate the other one until... I looked behind the bowl and there was Goldie laying on the counter. I think she jumped out of the bowl... I didn't know that fish would do that. But now thinking back... some days when I am sitting next to the bowl during naptime I hear water splashing and when I look at the bowl the one fish is always swimming away from the top of the bowl. She was still there last night before I went to bed so I know that she jumped out in the middle of the night... I didn't expect the fish to last this long... I never thought they would jump out... Zoe was okay with it, but Cole took it a little harder which surprised me. He was okay once I explained that we can go to the store to buy another fish... I think he is just having a hard time since we lost Magic, our beloved dog of 11 1/2 years, earlier this year.
