A sad loss over the weekend for the Otero clan: After eight wonderful months, Isabella discovered Spotty the goldfish lying motionless on the bottom of the fish bowl. He was returned to his “family” (by way of toilet flush) after a brief ceremony led by Mommy.

Julianna, wept, “I don’t ever want another pet again!.”
Isabella, ever the instigator, said: “Maybe we can get a chihuahua now.”
