    Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Pets are family members and their passing is just as traumatic. How old is he?

    I can't remember the exact date, but I bought him from a pet store earlier this year. He was very little and I like to feed him a lot. Thus, his fat figure.

    A friend of mine one time said that I purposely fatten him up with the intention of cooking him up when he was big enough to be eaten..

    My fish died yesterday. When I got home from work, I saw his home but he was not there. My mother said he died earlier yesterday in the afternoon..

    Aw, sorry about that. It hurts to lose a pet.

    Regarding the ibuprofen, I gave my dog Nicky one a long time ago (he was old and arthritic) and he vomited a bloody discharge and the vet said to never give animals ibuprofen. Just plain aspirin is ok though, like the 81mg dose. Nicky was a good dog, he was 17 when he died.

    My deepest sympathies Sub. I have lost several pets in my life, four of them goldfish, and know it can be like losing a good friend. Best wishes in your recovery.
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    Well, how much can you trust your mother? . . . I mean, you didn't actually see the body, right? Do you know how tempting a nice, big, fat goldfish can be?

    I got your point.
    I should ask her later.

    Well, be careful about it. I mean, it starts with a goldfish, who knows what she's capable of?

    So, you're saying that I should stick with fish....

    Yeah, don't upgrade to a cat, or a dog . . . That would be a true tragedy.
