he saw the light...

gilbert "gil" g. fish, 3 months, of the blue goldfish tank in anthony's room, passed away in his sleep last night august 30, 2008 of natural causes with his domestic partner by his side.

adopted into our family on may 17, 2008, we only knew gil for 3 short months, however we learned a lot from him in that short amount of time. he enjoyed hanging out near the bubbles the filter created...he loved 'treats' and expected them anytime someone would walk into anthony's room and would come around to the front of the tank and up to the water level to wait for them, and he enjoyed hiding behind the ceramic "gone fishing frog" sharing his tank when he was feeling playful.

gil is survived by his partner finnius "fin" who will miss his young, spunky attitude.

p.s. special "props" to my friend luci who is gaining notariety as becoming quite the "pet obiturarian" - is that even a word? you can view her work here and here. i only hope i made her proud with my entry above.
