Though few of the pet communities/forums I'm involved in are as expansive and close-knit as AA, I've always really loved my local fish keeping community. Breeders and hobbyists and experts all come together to share their knowledge and share stories, and it's so welcoming and fun.
So, everyone in said community has known about my struggles with Bǎoshí's health, and have been with me through all of her issues since she first came home with me. When she passed away this week, everyone felt the loss.
Well, this weekend there's a pet expo in town, and one of the goldfish breeders in the community was asking me whether I'd be going, because she wanted to see me.
And I certainly did see her...as she marched over and gave me two gorgeous black moors, and a pair of juvenile bristlenose plecos.
Y'all, I'm going to cry.
