When Morgan was 7 years old, she got 3 gold fish for her birthday. This fish are bionic fish, I'm telling you, they WILL NOT die, except for one that passed away about a year ago. Anyway, the two that are left are super sonic. Let me explain....Morgan is not the best at keeping the fish tank cleaned properly. As a matter of fact, right now, this very minute if you were to go into her room and look at the fish tank you would have to search diligently to even see them, that's how filthy the tank is. It really is fish abuse. Now, Morgan is an animal lover greatly and she does love the fish but they have become more of an burden than a blessing. She is wanting to move her bedroom around, but the fish tank is in the way. It stinks....literally, I mean the fish tank stinks when it gets this gross.
We've talked about "freeing" the fish but how???? No way would she "flush" them (if you know what I mean) and for real, who could do that? That would be so sad and cruel. Steve and I talked this morning that getting rid of them some how would really be "helping" the poor things. Can they live in a cold water creek? I really don't know but that's what has been decided. First, I had to call Morgan (she's at the soccer field playing soccer today) but I asked....."Can we please set the fish free in the creek" and she said..."sure...it would be better than living in the junk they are living in" and beside she really wants that extra space in her room. ***priorities here....hmmmmm....yucky fish tank vs. more space in her room????? (what would you do if you were a 13 year old girl???) LOL
So, today is the day. Steve is gonna take them to the creek. They've had a good life for the most part. They are huge, seriously some of the biggest gold fish you have ever seen. So....good bye fishy..... on to bigger and better things for you!

They should be fine in the creek. My gold fish lived for 10+ years in our horse tank, even when it froze over, and that was in coooold Idaho.
