Farewell to Joey

This post is a written memorial to my golden friend Joey.

Joey, you may have only lived a short two weeks in Wessels Street, but your journey started far away!
You came from Israel in a polystyrene box and you spent a few days at Stodels Garden Shop with hundreds of others all crammed into a single tank. I picked you from amongst them all, hoping you would be a fighter. I knew your journey ahead would not be an easy one.

However, you came out stronger on the other side. You were happier for those two weeks than I could ever have expected, bullying Oli and Sumtingwong, always quick to notice when your 'food provider' arrived on the scene.

Unlucky for you, the Gods weren't on your side when you went belly up this morning.
F.I.P. Joey (Float In Peace)
