Well, that was quick

beth_leonardFishey Liloandstich (Peter's name) didn't survive the night. It was alive and swimming at 2am for the 2am potty break, but at 4:30am Peter came running into my bedroom terrified for a non-specific reason. (For those not on my kids filter, Peter usually wakes once/night, but twice is getting rarer luckily).
I hugged him, calmed him, and put him back to bed. Then I checked on the fish.
Hmm, it's dark. I don't see the fish.
Look closer. Still no fish. I had seen it earlier in the evening.
Look around fishbowl. Still no fish. Peter wonders what I'm doing. I say I'm checking on Liloandstitch and can't find him. We turn on the light. Still no fish.
To make a long story short(er) after 45 minutes of searching I finally found the fish under Peter's bed next to the wall, about 4 feet horizontally from the fishbowl. DOA. It must have been flopping around under his bed and woke him up. Poor kid. He threw it in the garbage before bed tonight.
I didn't know goldfish could jump 2 inches vertically out of the water pitcher.
My nieces also won a fish at the same place, so they might give us theirs if it survives the week before they head home to Boston.
