Steve's Sad Stories About Animals
True:
When Steve was growing up, his family had a dog named Rapunzel-- 'Punzie' for short-- who, as you can guess, was so called for the length of her hair. Sadly for Punzie, said hair had a way of announcing itself in flourishes all over the upholstery, eventually leading to Steve's mother banishing Punzie to the yard. There poor Rapunzel lived out the rest of her doggy days in exile due to the very attribute for which she was named.
So sad!
True:
Steve's sister and brother-in-law had a pet piranha named Killer. Their pet cat ate it.
So hilarious recockulous redonkulous absurd sad!

That's a sad story about the dog. I hate it when people treat their pets like accessories.
As for the fish, that's funny. I've considered getting a fish tank for my cats. I thought it might entertain them during the day while I'm gone. But then I had visions of coming home to an overturned tank, with the corpses of fish splayed across the floor. Or, the conspicuous absence of said fish.

Once my neighbors went to Hawaii for a week and put me in charge of taking care of their dog. The day before they got back I went to feed the dog and it was dead. Being myself in fifth grade, I wrote this five page explanation of why I thought their dog may have died (basically a long way of trying to convince them that I hadn't killed it). I think that experience has traumatized me for the rest of my life.
Also, once I had a lizard that ate my other lizard. That was sad, too.
