wanted to give you an update

Question
QUESTION: Hi Lynda. I wanted to give you an update on my fish. The cory catfish are doing great. I've got another tropical tank with a baby pleco in called Nemo. I got him 6 weeks ago. He was a tiny thing when I got him and he has grown. I know how big they get. He is a common pleco and they can grow to over a foot long right? The tank was a friends tank and he had tropical fish in there including a fully grown common pleco. The tank is a massive one, it's huge. It's so big I call it tankzilla. I'm just getting used to Nemo sticking to the side of the tank. The goldfish Dasher and Comet are doing great too. They both had blood streaked fins 2 weeks ago and I cured it on my own with now help. Did I ever tell you about one of my goldfish I had as a child who we called the fish that lived? He jumped out of the water and landed on the floor, he had been out ofthe water for so long probably hours that he had gone all dry and stiff. We put him back in the water and he lived. Hard to believe I know but the goldfish lived for another 2 years. We called  him Lucky. How long do goldfish normally live out of water? Not long so how he did I don't know.
Danielle. He lived to say "I lived out of water for ages and survived. I have a good owner." He loved me. Then again don't all my fish?

ANSWER: Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the update!  I'm happy to know that all is well with you.

QUESTION: Hi Lynda. Well not all is well, my hamster Peanut had to be put to sleep. He was a very poorly little man. My fella is in hospital poorly so I've got his kids. He had a bad road traffic accident and it wasn't his fault. He has nasty injuries that I would rather not go into detail about. He is in a chomer. I'm going to see him tomorrow. The kids are no trouble.

Answer
Hi Danielle,
I'm sorry to hear about the accident, but happy that he is alive.  He will recover, it may take time, but you are such a good person, I know he will get all the help he needs.  Looking after his kids, is a big chore, I hope you will not have any problems, but knowing you, and your patience, and kind heart, you will get through this.
I will keep you, and your fella in my prayers.
Take care of yourself, and be careful not to get too tired.
Lynda
