Norman Update Part One

We are on a death watch for about the nintieth time. Norman the giant deformed goldfish has been looking like this for a couple of days.

He has looked like this before and lived on...so we're not too terribly concerned this time. However, Norman's passing will be relief and a blessed event. 

It's not that we won't miss him. I don't want to come off as insensitive. But he is a fish. He's not cuddly or affectionate on anything. He swims and he shits. 

So we will miss him, but not a lot.

Once again, he's pulled this before.

Norman started out life as a tiny little feeder fish. Susan got him for me when we first started going out. That means Norman is around 13. I wasn't sure how many years a goldfish lives. Suffice it to say, at least thirteen.

We had to keep moving him to larger and larger tanks as he grew and then outgrew his environment. He now resides in a thirty gallon tank that we borrowed from a friend about five years ago. We certainly didn't think we would need to borrow the aquarium this long.

I'll update as needed!
