Lamb 1 was given 4 fish as a birthday present a little more than a year ago. 1 died right away, 1 died a few months later, and the other 2 survived to their one year birthday. 1 died about a week after the birthday. 1 died about a week ago. I noticed it was dead several nights ago. I didn't say anything to the Lambs. Today, Lamb 2 noticed it was dead. It was Lamb 1's fish and he didn't notice it was dead! He had forgotten to feed it for at least a week (even though I reminded him several times in the week before it died). The poor fish probably died of starvation.
I'm going to ask Ram to clean the fish tank out (pregnancy is a good enough excuse). Then we are going to pack up the fish tank and store it for a few years until the Lambs are old enough to be more responsible for their pets.
I feel bad that we found babysitters for the fish while we were on vacation and Ram had surgery last year. The fish sitters did a great job. We bothered them to do this and then Lamb 1 didn't do his job. Big sigh here... But it will be nice to have a little extra room on the table...

Dogs are much easier than fish! You still have to feed them, but they notify you when they are hungry!!
