Regular Member Jack of Hearts Posted October 22, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 22, 2008 My beloved Sosh passed on last night. He was my alltime favorite fish. He had a ton of personality and was the sweetest fish I have ever seen. He was about 6 years old and had not been well for a couple of months. I had actually been hand feeding him for the last few weeks. Despite not being able to eat on his own, he always had a healthy appetite and enjoyed being hand fed until the very end. After a meal, he always loved to sit on top of the bubble wand. My dear Trinket has been helping me and thanks to her expertise, Sosh had a good quality of life until the very end. Rest in peace Soshy. I will miss you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Trinket Posted October 22, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 22, 2008 There's really no words. I know how much Sosh meant to you. You gave him 5 years devoted care and he had the very best life with you. There isnt any more you could have done- you did everything and then went the extra mile. May he rest now in peace and comfort :hug . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Bubbleboy Posted October 23, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm reallly sorry. You made him comfortable though and that's all that matters. He lived a lot better than most goldfish do and you took good care of him. Just know that and you'll make it People don't realize that fish are not any less companion pets than cats or dogs. And when they leave us, it's just as sad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Jack of Hearts Posted October 24, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 24, 2008 He really was simply amazing...the size of fish we all hope ours will grow up to be. Thank you Amy. His nickname was actually Cheebee(shorty or little one in Japanese). He got that nickname when I first got him as he was so tiny and frail looking. By the end, his head alone was like 3" wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shiftzsentra05 Posted October 24, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 24, 2008 Aww Sosh was beautiful. I'm sorry for your loss. I read that you had him for five years? That's amazing. Sounds like he had a wonderful life with you and was soo loved. Thank you for your comments on Nemo's passing, too. We all seem to understand each other a lot better here, it's a bit comforting (compared to the people I'm surrounded by that think I'm crazy crying over a fish) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member dfernandez77 Posted October 24, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 24, 2008 He had 6 long years with you, and such a handsome boy he was.
