I went in to the bathroom today to tend to Fred. We had put him in there to stay warm for the winter, in his small container on a heating pad. I gave him some fresh water and then some food. But when I picked him up, he fell out of his shell. YUCK!! I knew he was dead. I had to go get Christopher because Mom was on the phone to Carolyn. But when she saw Christopher and I staring at Fred she instantly said bye and came in there. We are all sad. We do not know why he is dead. He was fun and funny and active; but now he is no more. . . .
