In Loving Memory

On July 15, 2009 Thing II passed away at the age of 5 years and 10 months (which in fish years is approximately 140 years). He lived a full life, travelling from Breton, AB to Strathmore, AB, then moving to Edmonton, and finally making the trek across the Canadian prairies to Winnipeg, MB. He has gone on to join his friend and companion Thing I. Thing II is survived by his owner Katie, and his co-pet IV. The service was held July 17, 2009 at 5:45 pm. He was remembered fondly, and Hoppipola by Sigur Ros was played as the toilet was flushed (twice, to make sure he would not be regurgitated as the plumbing is not 100% reliable). He will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.

Rest in Peace Thing II. It was a pleasure feeding you and pouring water into your tank those fleeting few weeks. Love Auntie Jennie
