Sydney McLeod (2004-2008)

I am sad to say that I found little Sydney laying peacefully on his side this morning. He's been a happy little fish, thriving for four years in a tiny bowl, far surpassing my expectations for his lifespan. I specifically picked him out at the pet store, because I knew his speedy little dash around the tank would be a good indicator that he would last longer than a week. Little did I know he would live with me through four different apartments!

I guess I'm not too surprised that he's gone- he was moving a little more slowly in his old age, not zipping around his bowl like he used to do. He was a good pet, even for an animal disliker, and I think I will miss hearing his happy little smacky noises.

I am sad to see him go.
