Emergency trip to Petco

Ryan had to get a new suit for my cousin's wedding this weekend so he left work an hour early yesterday. Some sort of Divine Intervention steered his car home instead of straight to Mansfield Crossing. THANK GOODNESS!!!!! He opened the door to find the home of Nick's 2-day old fish shattered into pieces all over the dining room floor...and the fish (had not been named yet) was nowhere to be found. *%^#ing cats!!!!!!!! We have no way of being sure but it had to have been Tommy. Quick detour to Petco before he picked up the kids and Nick was none the wiser. Of course Ryan had to explain why the fish was in the car, but Nick was loving the story that the fish wanted to come with Daddy to pick him up. Sorry, first fishy, for forgetting that we have the most idiotic cat on the planet. Welcome, second fishy, we promise to put a barricade around you at night and whenever we leave the house.

This is fishy #2. We didn't get any still pics of fishy #1
but we have quite a lengthy video - he will never be forgotten!

The same exact thing happen to Kyle last year on his b-day, auntie kelley surprised him with a lovely fishy and Louise the cat had him for dinner the next day! We got one this time in a strange bowl that the cats cant reach into and its also in a place that we are hoping they won't see. Very cool story about the fishy wanting to pick him up though, good thinking Ryan!

OMG - that is too funny (er...I mean tragic). We bought Addison and Evan 2 fishes a few months ago and both kicked the bucket naturally within a week and I think Evan asked for them once but then forgot and Addison never noticed. I guess labs don't like goldfish like cats.
