It is with great sadness that we report that beloved pet, Ariel Perkins, has swum off to that great kelp bed in the sky. Her passing is observed with mourning by all those who knew and loved her deeply. Ariel was a gentle fish, a fish of few words, but we know that her heart was as big as her bowl. If you ever needed a fish to get you out of a tough spot, or even just a fin to cry on, you could always count on Ariel to be just that kind of fish. We all know that if you needed them, Ariel would have given you the scales off her back.
Ariel is survived by her owner and namer, L, who at the time of death was reported as saying, "Daddy, why is Ariel lying down on the bottom of her bowl? Is she tired? Maybe she ate too much and needs to rest."
Yes, L, Ariel is indeed resting now. And she deserves it! After all, when the going got tough you could always count on Ariel to rise above it all, much like she rose to the top of her bowl just a little while ago. Her parting will leave a fish-shaped hole in all of our hearts and to us she will forevermore be a holy mackerel.
Swim with the fishes, Ariel.
Swim with the fishes.
