Jabberspawn finally croaked. Oh well. Guess he couldn't handle not really having an owner...more like sharing space with someone who forgot he existed. No clue how long he's been dead. *sigh* No more pets for me. I can barely remember to feed myself lately.

May his neurotic ichthy self rest peacefully. At least he had a better home than Wal-Mart... not many people would pick out a betta that had eaten most of his tail. And you did love him. Besides, bettas can go three weeks without eating (as evidenced by Wal-Mart standards of care), so I'm sure forgetting to feed him sometimes didn't endanger him-- and you satiated his Melafix habit. I suspect a lot of bettas have been exposed to all kinds of trauma before we get them, especially if we buy them from chain stores... so Jabber's life had probably already been shorted by something. You probably just provided him a comfortable retirement. And you can't deprive future bettas of your care-- even if they die for bizarre reasons sometimes, they do better with people like us than left on a store shelf until they die!

Who knows... maybe you'll meet him in the afterlife. That'd be awkward... :P
