GRIEF

We were having lots of fun with our little unnamed pets.

Playing with their reflections

And falling on their butts

But then Saturday afternoon, Phil came home from a long hike

and found one of our little guys stuck in the filter.

It looked like he got his arm sucked in

and then his whole body got wrapped up.

After some tears and "surgery"

he managed to get the poor guy out of the filter.

 When I got home that night Phil told me what had happened.

More tears.

Just knowing what he had gone through was so sad!

As you can see, his entire right hand was gone

and his whole right abdomen section was beet-red with internal bleeding

We hoped he would make it through

but he was gone when we woke up Sunday morning.

I already miss him.
