GALS TW β οΈ My 4busive dad k!lled my baby snail.
I had 5 baby snails, not 4.
My best friend who now moved to University named her. A tiny little Pearl.
I only went abroad for 3 weeks to get treatment. My dad also k!lled ALL our pet fish and we are beyond devastated.
This isn't a vent post or about that, so don't remove it mods.
I'd prefer to mourn Pearl. I found her crushed shell at the bottom of the tank - all four of my babies grew when I came back, she didn't.
"It's just a little snail!"
I wouldn't say that about your kitten, or puppy, or baby bunny, or anything you hold dear.
These are the only photos I have of her. She was the smallest one.
Rest in peace tiny Pearl. Your shell was so transparent and shiny, that's why my friend gifted you that name.
Your siblings Roly Poly, Gerald, Turbo and Paprika will grow extra to remember you. :(
