Was it something I did?!?

[glitterkittyy]

My apple snail committed suicide!

Gary has attempted suicide twice before by escaping from the aquarium. I would find him all shriveled on the floor or the shelf and bring him back to life. I tried to block all points of possible escape from the tank. Yet, ultimately he was successful on his third attempt.

Why Gary why?????

Is that Gary's angel in your signature?

You mustn't blame yourself, just remember the good times.

Good times...hmmm let me think. Well I did like when he'd go all the way up to the top of the tank and then un-suction himself and fall all the way down to the gravel. I'm not quite sure, but I think one time I heard him say "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Just keep repeating "Wheeeeeeeeeee!" over and over. Somehow I think he hears you.

My condolences on the loss of your snail. Why do I hear Spongebob's voice saying "Gaaaaaarrrrry" in my head?

Because I wan't very inventive with his name?

Poor Gary.

But my co-workers will think I'm (even more) nuts. They already heard me yell when I saw him on the floor of my office.

...you have to think: he is in a better place......

Your office???

You didn't have a special room for him in your house???


No wonder.............................

...well, THAT certainly puts a different light on it.....I'd say it WAS something you did...... sorry, ah calls 'em as ah SEES 'em....

Well he got way more attention here. People would always walk in to talk to him. Maybe the pressure of always being "on" was too much. Or maybe he felt stalked.

Clearly I didn't heed his calls for help. I'm a bad snail mommy.

was he trying to find the pineapple?

 

[snapppyd]

But what about the scary, dark office at night? did the cleaning people talk to him?

 

[glitterkittyy]

Could have been. I hadn't thought of that. There was a rock bridge in the tank that he liked to suction to, but no pineapple to be found.

It's not dark in my office with the lights off. There are emergency glow lights that automatically come on. Plus the aquarium had a light too! No cleaning people at night. They can only come in if the door is left unlocked. Maybe he was lonely? He could've talked to the beta (Murphy) in the next tank.

he was tired of living in a fish bowl- his every move visible to the outside world...... being stalked by the ginormous paparazzi...... he's in a better place!

I suspect foul play. Check the security tapes, i think Murphy had something to do with this.

Well Murphy did stare Gary down a lot. He would also "blow up" his face at the snail too. I think he was jealous that Gary had a live plant in his tank while his was only plastic. You could be on to something.

Well, there you go! Murphy had every right to be jealous. But, I would not give him the real plant, you don't want to reward his murderous ways.

OMG this thread is just too stinking hysterical!!

I'm on break at work and literally laughing out loud... trying not to laugh too loudly though...and I almost spit my coffee onto my monitor!

Thanks for the laugh!

Oh and on a serious note, I'm truly sorry about the loss of Gary.
