So long to Freddy

I have been hesitant to post this. Does this mean that I am a bad mother? It just became time to say goodbye.

First of all, Ryan and I are both a little germ a phobic. Freddy was just getting to us. It didn't matter that I would just clean the bowl, Ryan always thought he funkified the house.

Second...all I thought about every time I went anywhere near him was weather or not it was time to feed him. And, even after just thinking about it, I had to wash my hands again. He was in the kitchen, it happened a lot.

Paxton wasn't sure he wanted to send Freddy back home but he hasn't really noticed since that day that he's gone so hopefully it didn't scar him.
We took him to the nearby pond which has other fish, ducks and turtles...and like that, he was gone. So we fed the fish with some of the rest of our feed

we said hello to the ducks

Gauge and I checked out the turtles

and that was the end of Freddy

I have to be honest, its nice not having him in my kitchen anymore. Ryan and I have both felt bad and have been wondering if he will make it in there. Of course he will right?! The other fish will protect him and teach him. Thats what I thought!

Bye Freddy, it was a good 5months!
