What a week...
At least James is doing better, albeit staying home from work and carrying a bottle of Benadryl around.
My mom called me today to finally tell me that Viktor, my betta, died Friday morning.
I saw it coming, I really did... just not this soon.
I cried. I didn't think I would, but I did. For a good while. Viktor was a great fish.
When I got him, I never thought I'd get so attached, but bettas are so smart and watch you, they seem to feel what you feel... and Viktor a great many times made me feel better when I wasn't feeling well or I was feeling sad and lonely. He had a definite personality, and I've NEVER seen that in a fish before. He would come up and look me in the eyes. He'd do little tricks. Viktor would play, he'd get angry, and he'd get really excited too.
He used to chase his tail around like a puppy. At least I caught that on video.
I felt bad that I had to leave him behind when I came to college, but whenever I came home, I'd spend a few minutes with him and he'd be excited to see me and dance around in his tank.
Apparently he was really sick Thursday and just never got better... My poor fishy...
It would be nice if nobody else got sick or died this week because I honestly don't think I can take anymore.
RIP Viktor "PookPook" Lawler

Chasing his tail in the wild blue yonder...
I will really miss you, Viktor. No betta will ever be like you. Ever.
