Tramatic Experience at the Romero Home

We have a beta fish named Fletcher (since we had to get rid of Raider, we got a fish) and he is unusually dirty. I have to change his bowl almost ever other day...might have something to do with my OCD and Cleaning :)...but either way I do it alot. Today I put him in his little bowl that he swims in while I clean the other bowl. I put new fresh water in his bowl and needed to wait until it got to room temperature. I left Fletch in his little bowl and went in the living room to play with Jett. I came back in a little while later and to my shock and surprise Fletch wasn't in his little bowl. HE WAS ON THE COUNTER. He must've flipped out or something. He wasn't breathing. I immediately starting hoping up and down panicing in my girly voice all the while Jett looked on staring at me like I was a freak. I didn't want to touch the fish beings that he is slimy and probably dead so I got the net and tried maneuvering him in it. HE STARTED FLOPPING AND JUMPING AGAIN. Scared the crap out of me. Finally I got him back in his big boy bowl and he swam around. However, I am sure he has brain damage now. Who knows how long he was on the counter, but he just isn't acting like himself. He is swimming weird and he wouldn't eat his treat I tried to give him to make peace. I GAVE MY FISH BRAIN DAMAGE!!!!
