Last night Jordan went to feed her fish and started yelling to me that Swimmy was gone. I went to look and sure enough the tank was empty, no Swimmy! I looked on the floor and around the tank and did not see her there either. Joe came in as I was explaining to her that sometime fish don't live long and she can always buy a new fish. We moved her book shelf and I seen Swimmy laying there, covered in lint and cat hair, because who vaccumes behind those things anyway! So she looked pretty dried and stiff, Joe reached down to pick it up and she started to wiggle! He put her in the tank, hair and lint and all and she was swimming around slowly, still covered in stuff. I cleaned the tank, changed the water and proceeded to give Swimmy her first bath. Now never in a million years did I ever think a fish would need a bath, but there is a first time for everything I guess!
All that kept going through my head was that scene from Nemo where Nemo got out and was flopping on the dentist tray hoping to get back to the ocean. I have no idea how long she was out of the water, but she was still swimming this morning, lets hope she is still alive tonight.
Pray for Swimmy Dragon!
