Before
Last summer Saffron "won" a goldfish at the Fennimore Fun Fest. Typical spend about five bucks to toss a ping pong ball into a goldfish bowl and win a 79 cent gold fish (you don't even get to keep the bowl). Normally, after purchasing a bowl, some gravel and a supply of goldfish food, the darn thing goes belly up in it's fine new bowl. This is usually followed by a toilet-side funeral service and a farewell flush. This dosen't hold true in Saffie's book of life. Here we are six months since the successful ping pong ball toss and the dam fish is not only surviving but has grown to outstanding proportions. The once one and a half inch fishie has bloomed into a, nearly twelve inch Moby Dick. The normal goldfish bowl has given way to a twenty gallon tank where (the name escapes me) resides. The question is, will Saffie get mom and dad to buy a bigger tank or will Whatsitsname become the main course at dinner one night? One thing for sure, there won't be a ceramic funeral for it. Too big to flush!
