They're lucky to have you!
I found out some sad news today.
PetCo is now selling a Cat in the hat Goldfish bowl..for Goldfish. How very
sad.
I called and emailed the headquarters.
They had a local manager of one of the stores around here call me and explain
how when selling them, and a Goldfish that they explain that they should also
buy a 10 gallon starter kit for them too.
Um yeah. I can see that happening.
