`Final Swim`

Teddy, our last surviving fish, passed away. I was rather sad, considering a fish is the closest thing our family gets to having pets. I was surprised when I realized that we have had them for over a year. That is a record for the Rasmussen Family and pets; especially fish. Their expiration date usually lasts between a few days, to weeks, or possibly a couple of months. Its sad not being able to feed them or watch them swim around. They were rather entertaining to watch. They we both very hyper and active fish. But once Sheri died, Teddy started to slow down and seemed rather lonely. I told mom we needed to get another friend for Teddy, but she didn't listen. And guess what?...he died. I say it was from loneliness and a broken heart. At least if they ever start filling out death certificates for fish, thats what I will tell them the cause of death was.
