Lost a pet

Well I hate to say that I am thankful but I am because Ken found our lizard dead a couple days ago. It was bright green in the tank and it was not moving. I am glad because it was a pain in the neck. I did not want to tell Ben that it died because I did not want him to be sad. I had Ken take out the lizard when Ben was not around and I told him that it ran away to find its mommy and daddy. He was a little sad but said that was ok if he wanted to be with his mommy and daddy. He said maybe we should leave the tank up for a couple days in case it came back, so we agreed that was a good idea. Today however I took it down he is at school but I told him I was going to before he left and he said that was ok. So now we just have the two gold fish and the dog. No more pets for us. I get sick of taking care of all them. I know its bad to say but I am thankful.
