TreesSZ Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 To acompany the dismal weather when I arrived at work and switched on the little tank light I saw to my horror as the light strobed to life, that one of my little shoal had expired over the weekend. She was the last of the breeding pair that I had. My class suggested a Viking burial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I always flush um down the loo! burial at sea That's how he explained it aswell. I'd got myself a little patch in the garden and even made a little poem. Meanwhile he was flushing it down the loo. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreesSZ Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 some members of 3A created a little boat for him and I found a fresh cylinder of butane. She will be cast off into the lake with full viking honours. I understand penguins' dads' anger though. I have to say my first reaction bordered on rage as opposed to sorrow. sort of like coming back to the car park and finding a ding/ scratch.

monkey76364 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Only just seent he post Im feeling sad now and feel for you in your time of loss. Have you tried praying, see if you can get some good out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreesSZ Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 is a fresh cylinder of Butane perhaps a little bit overkill? er. yes, well as it happened it did turn out to be rather fierce the small wooden and paper 'viking burial ship' burnt suprisingly quickly as it was prodded out across the pond. This promptly disintergrated and everything, fish included, bobbed around on the surface much to the disgust of everyone involved plus a couple of tears from the girls. Should have thought it through a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
