No, not that Robbie. Our Robbie, the beta fish. He was quite the sprinter/swimmer in his youth, hence the name Robbie McEwan.
Robbie finally turned in his chips last week after a glorious 5 year run. Although the real-life Robbie is still winning races at the ripe old age of 37, our Robbie hadn't had a sprint in him for well over a year.
Robbie-the-fish was originally adopted by our good pal, Deb, who brought him home from a wedding. A wedding? Yup. It was a typical Jackson Hole destination wedding and for some reason, the bride thought it would be a brilliant idea to use live beta fish as centerpieces, orphaning many poor little fish when the festivities were over and the guests all flew home.
Deb handed Robbie down to Nate 4 years ago. I think she thought Nate needed some responsibility in his life and that a fish was a good place to start. 4 years later, the poor guy has an abundance of responsibility-a new house, a wife, a dog and a real estate license. To think, Robbie was there for it all.

No Way! Awww Robbie. Glad to contribute to Nate's ever increasing maturity levels.. Thanks for giving Robbie a good home, especially after he almost fried in the hot summer sun. If only that bride and groom knew..
