Ok don't flame me for cruelty to Goldfish. Personally my Memorial Day weekend was not the greatest (spent 3 hours in the ER tied to a backboard after a very large 4X4 pickup ran over the front of my six month old Outback Sport), so I thought it would be nice to have some fun with my kids on Monday afternoon. I had been in PetsMart on Saturday, before getting creamed, and saw Goldfish for .07 each, knowing I had another stop I passed on buying any (little did I know what a long stop it was going to be). Monday found me back at PetsMart buying a dozen .07 Goldfish. When I got home I filled the kids pool with warm water, floated the bag of Goldfish for 10 minutes before letting them out of their bag. Time to let the kids out :) Amelia was the first to discover the pool and fish. Must say she looked really funny hanging over the edge snorkeling with her back feet barely touching the floor. I couldn't pass up the urge to push her in :> She didn't mind and in just a few seconds came up with Goldfish in mouth. Out of the pool and off to hide the prize. By now all the kids were joining in. Water was everywhere as were Goldfish, even under the couch! David (my husband) declared me fish wrangler and told me that the duties of a fish wrangler were to make sure all fish were accounted for at the end of the trip. Great, ever hunted and counted dead Goldfish? None of the fuzzes seemed interested in eating a fish, in fact they kind of made funny faces when the bite them hard enough to get a taste. Amelia was the best hunter, but each fuzzy caught at least one fish. We all ended up wet and happy. All fish were accounted for at the end of the day. Does anyone know if fish were ever part of the ferret diet, Bob?
