First thing this morning I arose to begin my full on slobathon that is the footballfest of New Years Day. I went to wish Alpha (my pet Betta) a Happy New Year and I noticed that he was laying on the bottom upside down. Now I figured he was either dead or still hammered drunk from the night before.It turns out he was both. Alpha was not a Mormon and lived a pretty hard life. I've never tried to press my religion on him, maybe if I had he'd still be with us today, cuz his water smelled of gin.
So ,sadly, I sent Alpha on a one way tour of the Seattle sewer system, and went to see my pal Dennis who gave me a new Betta. Ain't he a beaut ? The DW named him Firefin.He comes from a good family and I won't have to worry about this one drinking himself to death or getting into fights cuz he's a Quaker. The best part is that all I have to feed him is oatmeal.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FELLOW BLOGSTERS.
DARE TO BE GREAT IN 2008

So sorry to hear about Alpha. Looks like FireFin will be a great fish, though!
Is it disrespectful to be laughing my head off at the obituary you've written for your late beta? 'Cause I am.
This new one will be the best ever if it is a quaker. They rock! Just be sure to use your thees and thous when speaking to it.
I'm so glad that you were able to grieve and find healing. And I hope you have better luck with his replacement. Happy New Year!
