Today is a sad day in the Hackney Household. We lost a beloved family member, Dorky. He was Kate's beta fish that she and her daddy bought before he left. Dorky is now in the big ocean in the sky with his creator. I found him this morning and really should have made a trip to Walmart's fish section. Did I? No, I waited until Kate came home and showed her Dorky lying in state in his bowl. She was very upset and cried, hard. We then had to bury Dorky in the front yard and said a few nice words. More tears, some dirt, and now Dorky lies in his final resting place. When asked, Kate does want to get another fish. I was hoping she would want to wait until Daddy comes home to get one with Daddy, no such luck. So, we are off to Walmart looking for another Beta fish.
Let's have a moment of silence for Dorky Hackney.

Oh, Dorky....you will be missed! I am amazed that Lauryn's beta, Lightning McQueen, has survived as long as he has (over a year!), I am sure we will be making funeral arrangements before too long.
