If you go on vacation for less than a week, it's best to leave the fish without food. They can fast for a week without trouble. It's much better than contaminating their water with old and excess food. Also, goldfish should not be kept in bowls; they need real fish tanks like most other fish. They produce lots of waste and that water needs to be filtered and airated. Likewise, they need room to grow. FYI - Goldfish can live up to 50 years.

I've camped across the country with my dog and had no problems. Some people have problem dogs - my rule - keep them quiet at night unless they are barking at a bear - then bark away!

Daisy may be a dog but she does appreciate the finer things in life, ie a bed to chew her bones on, sheets to crawl under and grass to piddle on.

Or do you put a blinkie light on your dog, not so you can find the dog if it gets lost, but so you can identify the coyote whose stomach your dog is now residing in?
