On September 25, 2010 our beloved Tail-Feather the fish passed away. Cory and I are so sad. He brought us so much joy. We loved to watch him swim upside down, sideways, and around in circles. He could really shake his behind. We loved watching his streamer like fins hang down as he swam his specialty. He was one of a kind. You had to know him to truly understand. I have no clue how old he was. At least 5 years.
My friend James gave us these 4 fish for our wedding. Cory fell instantly in love with them. And now we are down to 3 fish. We remember watching Tail-Feather swim around just the night before. But the next day, I noticed him very still, floating on a shell. That was not like him. Cory said he was dead but I didn't believe him. I poked him and he didn't move. That was when I knew Cory was right. Tail-Feather was really dead. I made Cory fish him out of his tank. Here are some pictures of the ceremony...
His Burial Box
Cory spoke a few words at this point. Before we buried him in the dumpster.
His resting place. (As we know it)
Cory made his headstone.
Cory made his headstone.
Rest in Peace Tail-Feather. You will be greatly missed.

May peace be with you at this time of great sorrow.
(I'd be more sad if this wasn't such a freaking hilarious blog post.)
