Episode synopsis
Wimzie wants a pet so bad. She doesn't care if it's a dog, cat, or even elephant as long as she can have a pet. Yaya decides to purchase a daycare pet for all the kids to love. She presents them with a goldfish. The kids are disapointed, but decide to give it a try. Wimzie names the fish, Fido, and the kids are fascinated with him at first, but their duties of taking care of him dramatically slack off. After they discover Fido is missing, the kids think he ran away since they didn't take care of him much. Yaya has Fido, in a new tank filled with fresh water, and decides the kids aren't old enough to watch after a pet yet.
