R.I.P. Fishy

My little fishy, named “Fishy,” breathed his last little fishy breath today. He was a little gray guppy only about two inches long that I caught myself in a small pond near Nu’uanu in Hawaii in January 2007.

When I moved from Hawaii to Los Angeles this summer, I smuggled him on the plane in a water bottle, where he survived through baggage checks, an X-ray machine, and a four-hour plane ride. He was there through the good and the bad times, and no doubt watched me play countless hours of games. Jessica and I loved him very much, and I think he loved us, too.

There were no signs of trauma or sickness; I think it was just his time to go. He lived a long, happy life, and brought a lot of joy to us as a living, daily reminder of our time in Hawaii.

So long, little guy. We love you.

I am sorry for you loss Mark, I have lost many pets and whether it is a fish, dog, hamster, or midget it is always devastating. At least he had a good run, that is quite a long lifespan for a guppy in big pond that would have likely been a meal had you not intervened. As far as I can tell it was Win-Win, he brought you happiness and you gave him a three years he might not have had. Hopefully he is enjoying himself in that big pond in the sky.
