We lost our first family pet

Mikeyangelo died this afternoon.

I knew he wasn't doing too well. His belly was very bloated and we tried the things that we were told to do, but it just kept getting bigger. This morning he didn't look too great. We left to go to the mall and came home to him laying on his side on the bottom of the tank. Chase took it very well. We told him and he kept telling us "no he's not". Finally he went over and looked at him, Preslie walked over and put her arm around him and said "Mikeyangelo is dead, Chase". Then I heard "oh look he died with his eyes open...cool". We took him out of the tank, put him in a staple box and buried him in the yard. Chase, told him goodbye and that he was a good friend and then walked back into the house. Rylie isn't taking it too well. She's the one with tears in her eyes because she misses him.


Now, Chase has requested a turtle that will fit in his tank. I leave you with a picture of Chase and Mikeyangelo. .
