They were really good together, they always seemed so happy. Nancy, the one who always shines in the sunlight like spun gold, and Nigel, her sexy black boyfriend.
Nancy is an active, joyous soul, always acts like she is happy to see you, she's always up to having a meal, or just hanging out, it makes my day to see her.
Nigel was different, but that's sometimes the way with couples. Nigel was much more reserved and even shy. He didn't care much for eating and would sometimes just hang, doing nothing. Sometimes he was just plain slow, but that's good old Nigel for you.
Then something odd happened, we found out Nigel was sick, that's why he's been so slow, tired and sluggish and that's why he's been off eating anything. No one knew exactly what was wrong with him, but there was a steady decline in his health and it was very taxing to watch.
The whole time, Nancy kept full of life and joy. She was active and entertaining, I don't know if it was denial or a wish to put life into Nigel, but she trooped on through the difficulties.
Over time, Nigel got worse. He became slower, more asocial and tired. He would barely eat, when he did he would throw it up. No one could seem to cure him, although many tried.
The last two weeks have been very stressful, Nigel seemed to have lost most of his strength, and more importantly his will. Over time he lost his faith.
Nigel died today. I felt very sad when I learned the news and I didn't know how I was going to cope well, but I am pulling through.
Flush funeral, here we come.
Fucking Goldfish.

Istaros, I don't hate cats, I just see them as pay-for-play. Not like a dog, which is a life commitment.

"Cats are like that, too. You get sick of them and straight off the balcony."
The world would be a better place if more people were like you.

Gus Gus is the name of a mouse on cinderella... silly.
You're right, I'm sorry. I had my Disney Movies all back-ass-wards. I just knew I liked that fat little lovealbe mouse. He made the movie.

Well thanks for the thought anyway, but I was much rather hoping for a hug from a female (what can I say? I'm a loser), I hope that you can fool Nancy with her next significant other.

I'm off to the pet shop to get Nigel's replacement so I can't hug you. That, and I am in a different hemisphere.

Woah, easy tiger... Gus-Gus is a fine name. Proud and strong. Erect and thrusting.

Yeah Gus-gus, named after one of the mice on Sleeping Beauty, don't ask me why, but it seemed cool at the time. What the fuck is wrong with a name like Gus-Gus? That name is cool!

I tried watching Sponge Bob with them. They wouldn't even sit still throught that. Stupid fucking fish and their stupid need to stay in constant motion to stay alive.
Wait wrong fish huh? Don't tell me Gus-Gus was lying to me(yes that was the name of my fucking Beta, sue me).

AAAHAHHAHAHA!!! This is fuckin awesome. I'm saying this even though I dont' think a fish is a real pet. You can't trust a fish to tell you if there's an intruder, and you can't pet a fish.
All you can do is sit there and stare at eachother.

My goldfish Sponge ate all his friends, and exploded. I didn't realise goldfish could explode.

Sam, he didn't vomit per se, he would throw it up, usually with a bubble, or just spit it out, goldfish stylee.

Damn, I always scroll down to see how long posts are before I read them. So I saw the picture and it ruined it for me. Still pretty good. I didn't know fish could vomit.

sorry for the no comment.
I just got to work and therefore, just woke up 30 minutes ago, or so.
Beautiful story,
if you're a fucking asshole.
I don't know where that came from. Actually I love this post, it's the pussy's meow... just thought I would write what first came to mind.

I knew both Nancy and Nigel, and I knew how close you all were.
In his final days when he sat in that clear salad bowl upon the coffee table I thought there was hope.
It was as though the poor little bugger had found strength within... but unfortunately not!
Fly Nigel Fly!

Otter, whoever you are, if it was a dog I would have taken the day off work.
Goldfish are great like that, it's a scoop, flush, back to the Aquarium. Cats are like that, too. You get sick of them and straight off the balcony.

We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
