In Memory

Prince Rupert, my brother's american bullfrog, is gone.

he passed away a few days ago, but no one told me and i only found out about it when i noticed that the tank was empty yesterday.

normally, when frogs die, their arms and legs will spread out and they'll be floating flat on their stomach. not Prince Rupert though. he was found sitting on his rock, in a position that he would usually be in, staring out at our balcony. it was only when my dad noticed that he didnt seem to be breathing, that they realised that he was gone.

:(

it's kinda sad. we've had him for about 8 months and watched him grow from a tiny little thing to a big, fat, blobby bullfrog. he wasnt just a frog. he was our family frog.

but i'd like to believe that he died peacefully.

rest in peace, Prince Rupert.

(yes, only i call him that.)
