This is... was Ice Cream Alice the Second. She developed Columnaris and passed away last night.
Here they are together... St. Louis Race Car Macaroni and Cheese, and Ice Cream Alice #2.Buddy's fish hung on for an entire week and a half. Princess Sparkley's first fish lived one day with us. Her second fish lasted three whole days. At their funeral tonight they each said a few things. Buddy said he liked his fish because sometimes it looked at him. Princess Sparkley said she liked Ice Cream Alice #2 because it lived longer than #1. Poor kids. We went out today after #2 died and bought a bunch of medicinal water drops, etc. to try to save Buddy's fish. What now?

The thing I hate about pets is that they die. It is so heartbreaking for kids. And yet my kids immediately wanted another gerbil. Smallpets are easily replaced which is maybe not a good life lesson. I don't know.
