I had to put Posie down this morning.
Everything happened so fast. He was fine yesterday.
I woke up this morning and knew right away something was wrong. He was laying kind of bent on the bottom of the tank and he was really bloated. He was still swimming though, so I hoped I could nurse him through this.
When we put him in the breeder net, I could finally see just how horribly,horribly bloated and pineconed he was. I had Andy (such a sweet,brave,strong boy) net him and put him down for me. I just couldn't bear to do it.
We're going to go bury him now, under our apple tree, next to Andy's beautiful German Blue Ram, Gorden Ramsey, who we lost a couple of months ago.
Poor little Posie. I only had him about a month. I kinda had a feeling he wasn't going to be with me long. He had a good, happy month here with us rather than dying sooner in a stinky cup on the shelf at Wal-Mart.
RIP Poseidon (AKA Posie), We love and miss you.
