Our fish, Kitty Kitty died on April 3. We continue to mourn the loss of Kitty Kitty. He was a good fish and we loved him for his 3 1/2 years as our pet.
Kitty Kitty joined our family when Fletcher was 15 months old in Septembeer of 2005. I had just left my library job and had begun staying home with Fletcher and keeping a little girl named Caroline. The kids and I were reading books, etc. about pets and took our first field trip to PetSmart in Morresville where we looked at all the pets and came home with a beta fish. On the way home we were talking about what his name should be and Caroline suggested Kitty Kitty and the kids got the humor in that and the name stuck.
Fletcher has hard a difficult time with the permanence of the situation and that we can't keep Kitty Kitty. I've explained the fact that what made Kitty Kitty so special is not there anymore, but this is a difficult concept for a 4 year old. Today we went to MegArt and made a plaque in memory of Kitty Kitty. It seemed to help Fletcher.
Fletcher is Growing up Fast!
