o tod, wie bitter bist du.

RIP Gregor 'greggs' Hooper
c. Decemberish, 2007 - January 30th, 2010



today our dear toadly friend, greggs, passed on quietly in his terrarium. it can only be assumed that he had reached old age, and was happy to go on to his place in the heavenly basking pool. (seriously. i didn't kill him. he had water and worms and everything...)

my lovely gregs, you will be well missed. you were a wonderful pet these past few years.

you were awesome and climbing. and also hilarious when you tried, but failed to be awesome at climbing.
your night-time chirping was super cute. (remember that time you scared emma? that was great.)

that time you killed Emile wasn't AS nice. but you couldn't help your slightly sociopathic nature. and he was REALLY skinny, after all.

you were also really good at 'hiding' under the fake plant. i almost always found you, which i think you allowed for, knowing that it made me happy. good man. oh, and you were a champion hopper.

sorry about that time i moved to scotland and left you with mom and dad. i bet they didn't talk to you as much as i did.

xoxoxoxoxo.

This made me happy _and_ sad.

He did scare me that one time. That was hilarious. Perhaps the best way to keep his legacy alive is with stick bugs....
