Last night our home acted as a funeral home/cemetery. Beatrix Bill, beloved (yet sexually unidentifiable) snail of Kristi and Preston was laid to rest in the back yard. It was a simple service attended by close friends only, as Beatrix Bill would have wanted. Unfortunately, the original request for burial at sea proved impossible for the family.
Beatrix Bill, BB to his/her friends, was a homebody who loved comforts of his/her tank but was just as comfortable busting out of his/her shell. Known to Moonwalk on command after a few drinks, BB also loved filling in the New York Times crossword in ink (stubborn to the end) and the cartoon
Mutts (it was the cute and zany antics of
Earl the dog and
Mooch the lisping cat). BB left a void in the tank that will not easily be filled.
The family wishes to acknowledge the love and support so generously bestowed by friends and family, even strangers, in this great time of trial. Instead of flowers, the family requests donations be made in BB's name to your local wetland.

Even though it is via the devastating passing of BB, I am glad to be reminded of the "cute and zany antics" of the Mutts characters. It has been too long since I have been exposed to them.
my sincerest condolences on the loss of a beloved family pet. i'm sure BB will be sorely missed.
btw, you're hilarious. :)
We, BB's family, are still recovering from this devistating event. We are comforted by the hope that time will in fact heal our wounds. Thanks to all for their continued love and support in this most trying time.
