The day that I lost Dante, we went and purchased another betta... I can not be without one of my babies. He was beautiful and so young and small! We named him "The Nothing" after the NeverEnding Story, and put him in the bathroom- because he would be safe from all things feline there.

I woke up this morning and stumbled into the bathroom with my usual non-morning-person bleary-eyedness. And The Nothing was not in his bowl.

What followed was a distressed hunt for about ten minutes- making me late for work. He was nowhere to be found! How is that even possible? It's a bathroom! It's a white floor! We keep the door closed for the cats! And, yes- the toilet lid was closed. ;-; I have no earthly idea what happened.

I called Jenn at work- muchly upset. He had been there when she was getting ready for work.

This is like... one of those Universal Mysteries. Along with the Disappearance of Atlantis... there is now the Disappearance of The Nothing.

This is either a fish napping- or an Ascension.
