The Truth about Jacky


For Sam's birthday, his best friend B gave him a Betta fish. He's been wanting a fish for quite a while and was very excited about it. Jacky refused to eat and just acted weird. Saturday, 6 days after the b-day party, Jacky's time with us was over. We knew Sam would be devasted, so I ran out and bought a new "look alike" Jacky. I cleaned the tank and made the switch. Sam was so excited to see Jacky finally eat! 24 hours later the new Jacky decided to "take a nap". Sam told his teacher today that Jacky was finally sleeping and that he must have been very tired. So, I am now off to PetSmart to buy Jacky number 3. Deceitfulness is going to get expensive.

I've heard different times, but all were more than 1 day or 1 week. We'll see how long Jacky number 3 makes it!
