Today was a sad day. I awoke to find my fish, well...sleeping with the fishes. He had become sick over night 2 nights ago, and in just 24 hours he was gone. I have no clue what could have happened to make him ill. Not only am I just sad my beloved fishy died, but I also feel guilty. He was only a year old, and in puffer times, just a baby. I feel guilty because I bought him without knowing anything about puffers. I fell in love with his face and just bought him. I did the stupidest thing any pet owner could have done...bought without researching first. This is probably the first time a have publicly admitted how big of a dumb a** I was when I bought him. Don't get me wrong, I loved him to death and did everything I could to keep him healthy and happy, but I keep thinking that if maybe I wouldn't have bought him, he would have lived longer and been happier with someone else. How my heart aches and how I miss him already. I'll probably take him out back tonight and bury him. So I guess I'd like to take this post as a memorium to what a beautiful and spunky little fish he was. He truly made my life better the short year he was with me.

You will be in our hearts, missed, and remembered forever.
I would also like to use this post for a moral and a reminder for others if any body reads this....
If you want to purchase a pet, PLEASE, research the animal first. Know all about it so you can make sure you can properly care for it. You might find out it's too much for you to handle, and it's not the pet for you. Even well-known animals such as cats and dogs. Each breed is different. Thanks.
