Today we mourn the loss of a treasured friend, a loyal companion and entertaining personality! Last night, our diminutive gold-fish, Voetsek Jr., accidentally took his own life.
I regret, with shame, that I may have had a hand his fate. In the past I have casually let him watch DVD's that have not been rated 'safe' for goldfish. Undoubtedly movies like Free Willy, the Great Escape, Finding Nemo, Flipper etc lodged in his brain and made their way to his Brave Heart!
And so, in the Spirit of Adventure and Freedom, our golden friend launched himself like a Polaris Inter-continental ballistic Missile from the murky depths of his gold-fish bowl. His trajectory took him sailing over the landing bannister then plummetting like a shiny rocket toward the bottom of the stairs.
One can only imagine the thoughts of joy and elation as he sailed through the air. Free at last!
But then he landed. The soft yielding carpet took his young life as he lay there, his whole life flashing before his very eyes. I am sure he died bravely. He was the type.
It was a long fall to freedom...
Voetsek Jr. now takes his place in that stellar constellation within our hearts of Brave and Inspired Pets that have moved from this life to whatever awaits them...
We ask that you respect our wishes to mourn his passing privately.
Please honour Voetsek Jr. by ensuring that YOUR pets only watch pet-appropriate media, lest they too aspire to unreachable heights!
Yours sadly,
Mark
