We just had a very emotional service for the girls’ first deceased pet, Lightening the Snail. He was a good mollusk.

He passed away while we were at the beach, at least that’s a guess based on the amount of growth on his shell. Despite that, as he was about to be buried, Rylie made a last minute plea that she saw him move. Or it was his newly acquired fungus.

Surprisingly, Chloe was the one to cry. and she’s the tougher of the two.

Can’t imagine what’s going to happen when a real pet dies.
