One of my childhood favorites...
Mr. Carp made Otto small again!
Now, we have our own Otto, but we call him "Fat Fish"! The story goes like this...
Drew's friend, Justin Smith, moved away to Utah and asked us to watch his turtle for a couple of months until he could arrange to bring him up. Flash forward 8 years later and we still have Gimp (he has nubs for back legs)!
Drew would occasionally pick up goldfish for Gimp to have as a special treat, but because he is handicapped, it was hard for him to catch them. One tiny 3/4 inch goldfish was just too quick to be caught. He grew up in the five years we have had him to become Fat Fish!

That is so funny! We once had a goldfish...for a week. Lauren got it in NURSERY! (Can you imagine all these 2 year olds coming out with their very own goldfish after a lesson on "We are thankful for fish" ...think Darla from Finding Nemo) I killed it a week later when I went to change it's bowl and water. (Didn't realize you had to keep some of the old water when cleaning it!) So, too bad fat fish didn't have a relative to come to our house that week. :)
How funny is that!?
