Thing 1, RIP

Thing 1, a mystery snail, came home from PetCo with Ian and Anna in June 2009. Thing lived in the aquarium with Butter and Jelly, where he worked hard vacuuming the tank and enjoying algae and food debris until his passing in November 2009. Thing is preceded in death by Thing 2 and Thing 3, who passed in July 2009. Thing is survived by tankmates Butter and Jelly, friend Pfluff, and owners Ian and Anna.

Thing was a good, friendly, and ambitious snail and janitor and will be missed.

Tankside services were held November 9, 2009 at 4 p.m. in the round room with Ian officiating. Burial was in the upstairs bathroom toilet.

Memorials may be made in Thing's name to the Ian and Anna Moving Fund.

Peanut, August 24, 2005 - March 27, 2006

Peanut, age 7 months, beloved pet of Anna, passed away on March 27, 2006, at the Princess Palace, following a tragic exploring accident.

Peanut was adopted as a tadpole on August 24, 2005, at the Princess Palace after arriving from the Grow-a-Frog company. He reached his full transformation into a frog in mid-September, and continued to reside with his two siblings, Butter and Jelly. After Christmas, the trio moved to a larger purple tank and were pleased with the colorful and spacious home. Peanut loved sitting under the filter and hanging out on his favorite plastic leaf, playing with his siblings, jumping, and making Anna smile (occasionally attempting to lovingly munch her finger) and waving and jumping for Ian whenever he stopped by. Peanut was a loving, ambitious, and adventurous frog and will be very missed.

Peanut is survived by Anna, and his two siblings, Butter, and Jelly.

Services for Peanut were held at Tuttle Creek at 6:30 p.m. on March 30, 2006, and officiated by Ian.

Memories and condolences are welcome as comments to this entry.
