it was a tough day in the brink household. granted, he may have only been a part of this family for a couple months, but ledger's fish bluety was a big part of our son's life and he took his fish's passing very hard. bluety had been acting out of sorts for about a week. we did everything we could, consulting the internet, going to the pet store for medicine/water treatment, but unfortunately there was nothing we could do. our pet fish's time on this world came to an end. we warned him that night that bluety might not make it to morning, but it was still tough for him to wake up to the reality of a dead pet. i left early that morning for work so i took bluety and buried him out by the garage before work. the last thing we wanted ledger to see was his dead body floating in the water. when i got home i took ledge down to see where he was buried and to pay our last respects. ledge wanted to make a gravestone for bluety, so he drew a stone on paper and we taped it to a popsicle stick and we put it at the top of his grave. when we went down to see his final resting place we picked a couple wildflowers to put on his grave. ledger wanted to say a few words, pray, and say his goodbyes. he was a good pet and will be missed. ledge is already looking forward to seeing him again with grandma great in heaven.
