Today my family and I said goodbye to our goldfish, Cleveland. You may not think that a fish could win your heart, but they can. Especially when it’s a funny and happy fish like our Cleveland. His life started out as a tiny pond fish in the Carnahan Frog Resort early in the summer of 2015. Right from the start he made us smile by the way he would swim, flip and try to get our attention. This fish loved his life and it showed! By the end of the summer he had a name, Cleveland. Our granddaughter, Anastasia picked the name out which we thought was perfect considering his bright orange Cleveland Browns color.
By the end of the summer we didn’t have the heart to leave him outside all winter so we brought him inside.The plan was to put him back outside once it was warm again. However, once inside his fish tank, Cleveland became even more entertaining!
One of his favorite things to do was to drive into the bubbles located in the corner of his tank. He would jump in head first, go all the way to the bottom then allow himself to float all the way back up to the top. Once at the top he would do a flip ( yes, water splashed 
💦) and fast as lightning, he would swim all around the tank, and dive right back into the bubbles to do it all over again! He made being a fish look like a heck of a lot off fun and we loved him for it!
We sure are going to miss this silly fun-loving fish that stole our hearts!
