Yet Goldfish are likely more aware that we know. They can recognize individual people, and become quite trusting of them.

If anyone is still up, bundle up, go outside, and look at the moon. We just watched it change from silver to red. Tonight is a Blood Moon.

Wish I could have seen that moon. We were traveling

Darn, I missed it. I was snuggled in my covers trying to stay warm. It wasn't easy, thinking about my old gals out there, even with heat spots for them, trying to stay warm. Georgie was directly under the heat lamp with very crippled Neela beside her. You should have seen Neela last night asking for permission to sit there. Georgie is still 2nd in command, ailing or not. I'm glad she allowed Neela to be close to her.

We watched it. The moon went from silver, and on one side began filling with red. The red kept pushing across, like ink being soaked up by a blotter. Finally, it was all red. When it got all red, we watched a little more, but got cold, so we went it. We didn't watch it turn back to silver. I went out for a quick peek about 45 minutes later, and it was silver again. It was really neat to watch.

I took a peek, but at -15 degrees it wasn't as impressive as my warm bed.

I'm with you, Lisa!

Georgie laid in the same spot all day long. She took a few bites of food and a sip of water this a.m. when we brought it to her, but this afternoon, she refused to drink. Funny to see her like that because her color is good, she has a good weight, not bloated, looks healthy as a horse. No one would know she was 10 years old. I really think her heart is just weak and slowing her down, but even so, I'd expect some color change in her face/comb and unless you stress her, she is nice and pink. Neela and Alice have been keeping her company, like the blue bookend hens they are.

Sorry that Georgie seems "off". Maybe it's just too cold, and really affecting her.

It came on suddenly, just yesterday morning, she was down. The day before, normal Georgie. Amanda's sister, Becca, went the same way, almost the same exact age, too. Just went down and was gone in a day and a half. I'd rather they just go quickly than linger on and on and for us to have to make that decision. Tom adores Georgie because she acts like she is so fond of him, always looking for him.
