Gil (the fish) moves on to a better life

So Luke thought it would be a good idea to feed Gil (Dylan's fish) a little snack before bed time. He decided this all on his own and obviously felt no adult supervision was needed. A typical feeding for Gil is about 5 or 6 pellets. Well...the next morning this is what I saw. Luke was more than happy to claim credit for "feeding the fishy". Amazingly Gil was still alive at this point....and probably very satisfied. This was the bottle that was almost full before Luke fed it to Gil.

It was everywhere! All over the floor, in the dresser drawers.... He was quite proud of his accomplishment. I cleaned everything up and put Gil in a fresh tank of water but by this time he was not looking so good. Gil hung on for about a day and a half twitching here an there before he finally gave up the ghost. Now as far as Dylan knows we've had Gil for at least a couple years. He doesn't know that Gil kicked the bucket twice already due to natural causes of course and we replaced him with the perfect look alike....twice. This time we figured Dylan was old enough to take the news. When I told him Gil didn't make it, his first comment was......"I want a dog!"
