This thread is in honor of Zoidberg, my pet hermit crab...though he was more my girlfriend's than mine, since he was with her at college. He was ours, and he never gave anyone any trouble...he was a peaceful animal who liked to walk on people's hands like they were a treadmill.

Recently she entrusted him to the care of some of her residents while we went to Niagara Falls...well, these residents bonded with him and didn't want to give him up. Unfortunately, he died in their care after coming out of his shell...cause of death is unknown, though we are at no loss for wild theories.

Zoidberg is survived by Velvet and Rainbow, our pet betta fish. He now joins Mr. Tickles, our deceased goldfish, in whatever pet afterlife people choose to believe in.

What an awesome name...

Yes, I named him after the great Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama...I am almost starting to think naming pets after cartoon characters is a bad idea, since both Zoidberg and Mr. Tickles have suffered untimely deaths...though I have a cat named Pepper Ann, and she seems to be doing fine, knock on wood...
