Bud arrived in this world like many other fish, living a horrible life as a Wal-Mart fish. Unknown of his future, he swam in his death filled tank awaiting his last breath (do fish breath) oh yeah, gills. Regardless, Bud was saved on one July afternoon in 2000 where I gave him a home.
His home was a bowl, nothing fancy, just a glass bowl. As time passed by, Bud was upgraded to an actual tank, not big, but it was tank nonetheless. He had other friends come and go. "Light and Keystone" just to name a few. Bud made countless trips from Van Wert to Tiffin during my college years. He saw a lot and I mean a lot during those 4 years of college. From the dorm in King West to Miller to 141 Main St. Bud saw it all. Bud made another trip to Tiffin when Kylee and I got married. He lived on our living room shelf for two years too. Bud even made the transition to school pet for half of a year, until I brought him home over Christmas. It was two years ago this week that he became Myles' bedroom pet. It is only fitting that he pass close to his two year anniversary with the little guy. This past weekend at 9:05 a.m. Bud was pronounced dead. He was given a burial at sea.
Bud is survived by his parents Brendon and Kylee Moody, Siblings Myles (two) and Brynleigh (7 months). All memorials are asked to be sent to the National Goldfish Foundation.
Thanks for 9 great years Bud. You'll be missed!
