RIP BOO :(

Post by English George »

Hi guys, long time no post, the puffer forum is where I started off with Boo so I'll post this here before anywhere else. :)

Well, today is one of the saddest of my adult life :(

Boo has been staying at work in a heated pond for the last month or so. Last night the heater tripped out, that coupled with overnight temperatures under freezing, killed Boo.

I am so sad about this, she has been with me through the most difficult times in my life. Always waving at me through the glass and keen to have a look at what was going on outside of the tank. The most calming influence on me. What a loss.

RIP

I'm so sorry. I recently lost two puffers to Hurricane Ike, and I still think about them. :(

Wow Boo was one beautiful fish, what a sad, horrible loss. I'm sure you'll never forget her.

Oh poor Boo, at least it was more than likely a nice, slow peaceful death.

I'm so sorry George.
