Bob F Posted November 24, 2006 Report Posted November 24, 2006 Lost my buddy Sharky today. Outwardly he looked fine, but he hadn't been eating. Thought it was just the cold weather. Found him floating on the surface of the pond under his favourite waterfall. 18lb of thoroughbred Koi. I'll miss hand-feeding him in the mornings, and the Mrs will miss having her toes sucked. He'd of put any Dyson to shame with the amount of suction he had. A gentle giant that'll be greatly missed by his other buddies in the pond. Goodbye, Sharky. Quote
Bob F Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Posted November 25, 2006 The worst bit is that there's no more room left in the garden to bury him (too many hamsters, rabbits, budgies, guinea-pigs), so he got unceremoniously dumped at the local refuse tip. I hope he'll forgive me... Quote
Wedger Posted November 25, 2006 Report Posted November 25, 2006 How fresh is he Bob?? It's nearly Christmas Bob, and carp go down a real bomb with our new European buddies for crimbo vittles................... Quote
Bob F Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) Let's just say the dog turned her nose up at him. He wasn't looking (or smelling) his best. I dred to think what a fish like that would cost to buy (alive & fit). Sad to see him go like that. Edited November 25, 2006 by Bob F Quote
