Last night just before putting the girls to bed I noticed a certain 'someone' wasn't swimming around his bowl.
Yes, it's true.
Ruby's purple fish 'Goldy' kicked the bucket.
Ruby didn't take it very well.
It took big sister to step in to give Ruby the special love only one can get from a sibling.
Zoe certainly shines as a big sister.
After explaining to Ruby that her fish will now become a 'fairy-fish' she calmed down...but only long enough to catch her breath before her next bout of wailing continued.
Thinking a story might calm/cheer her up I asked her what she'd like to hear.
I was thinking Olivia (always makes me laugh) or Miss Nelson Is Missing (one of their faves)...but no.
Ruby wanted (and I preface this by saying I absolutely h.a.t.e. to read this book...it's annoying)...
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.
I kid you not.
Way to add salt to the wound there chicky!
Indeed after the story she had settled herself down and was ready to carry on.
RIP Goldy.
sisterly love...
an homage to Goldy...
the coffin decorated beautifully in pink tissue and glitter...xo

Poor Ruby!! I am not much of an animal girl but a fish is the one thing I think I could handle! My biggest worry is what happens when he dies and my kids are upset?!!
I think as long as they are okay with no pets, we'll just remain pet free! Hope today was better!!
Hugs to Ruby...it really is sad to loose a pet. The pic of her big sis consoling her is so tender.
You trying to make me cry? Give Ruby love from her Lissipoo. What a little love...
