is going on 4 years with us. He's semi-paralyzed now on his left side and can be found floating sideways most days or curled up in a fetal position playing dead. He swims still, lopsided but exhuberantly, he eats enthusiastically, he recognizes those he loves and floats over for a listen, but just approach with a camera and he rallies and strikes a healthy looking pose. Still the best looking beta pet around these parts and not yet ready for the big sleep.
