Is there an RB for all???
Do you suppose there's a Rainbow Bridge for fish? I know, a fish is not
fuzzy, soft, cuddly, cute, playful, and "pettable" but.... Our algae-eater, named "Fish", died last week. We were fond of him and miss him. He had outlived all others during his 22 years as a tiny creature that matured into a 13-incher and was the last in the acquarium for several years. He looked lonely but our fish-experts advised against adding more to the tank. We worked so hard that last day to save him but I guess it was just his time to go. Maybe he's swimming around *under* the Bridge? The RB is for pets. I wonder if there is one for elephants, lions, rabbits, mice, antelope, squirrels, chipmunks, et al? Just thinking (which is something I probably shouldn't be doing). Jeanne |

And a 22-year-old fish! He had some amazing good care. We have an algea-eater that's about 8 inches long and four or five years old. I'm sorry you lost him :-( Sherry |

Jeanne We had one of those for about 15 years - we had a big tank so he got to be about 18 inches long and about 6 inches wide - DH had to pick him up with his hand when he changed out the tank since he was too big for even the big fish net! He was blind in the last year of his life, but we figured he deserved to live out his life as long as he could eat and swim. I think there is a Rainbow Bridge and your "Fish" will be swimming in the crystal stream that runs underneath it! Chin Skritches, CatNipped |

With all the really pretty fish in the tank, they always seemed like the kids who weren't so good-looking, who had "personality." We were not lucky enough to have one live so long. -- Theresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh |

Jeanne I think there is a place at The Bridge for every animal or fish. And they all get along. I get attached to fish, too. And a 22-year-old fish! He had some amazing good care. We have an algea-eater that's about 8 inches long and four or five years old. I'm sorry you lost him :-( Sherry I'm sorry you lost him too 22 years old ...wow. Sherry, is your fish a Plycothclithmas? They have big lips and eat the algae? I used to have one name Lucy Lips when I had my tank a lot of years ago. Quite a nice variety of fish I had.... All my fish died one winter when we lost power Kyla |

I never have thought "heaven" was for humans only! (Actually, given that humans supposedly KNOW the difference between right and wrong and animals are totally innocent, it would make more sense to wonder whether there is really a "heaven" for US!) |

Jeanne I firmly believe there's an RB for every creature... but there's an equally unpleasant place for people who torture and abuse animals (and people). Jill |

Especially tapirs. I've fallen in love with tapirs recently, I wanted a couple of them when I saw how great they were on a few zoo TV programs recently Of course I cannot have a tapir, but omg how I want one. How lovely they are and how kind to their keepers. Want one, want one.. Tweed |

I'm sorry you lost him :-( Sherry I had a goldfish given to me when I was 13 (I've no idea how old the fish was at the time); it lived 9 years more. Seems a pretty long time for what was essentially a dime-store goldfish. That poor fish lived in a proverbial goldfish bowl. No aerator, no pump. Just a glass bowl I cleaned out every week. He (who knows if it was a he? tolerated me unceremoniously scooping him up in my hand and dumping him into a pan of water while I rinsed out the gravel and scrubbed the bowl. In 1975 I got a really cool globe-shaped glass bowl for him; it was suspended from the ceiling in a beaded macrame hanger. Tres cool! Except the glass bowl was so thin it shattered the first time I set it in the sink so I could transfer him to clean it out! The poor fish (his name was Michael) was in danger of getting cut by shards of glass. I managed to get him out without a nick. So much for him having a cool pad. LOL He went back to his regular fish bowl and lived 6 more years in my care. Long story short, is he swimming around under the RB? Yep, I think so Jill |
