We knew this day was coming, but it doesn't stop us from being sad! Our beloved Valentino has finally gone to that great big ocean in the sky... We'll be wearing black for our week of mourning, wait, we always wear black... well, anyway, we'll miss him, although we won't miss cleaning his bowl~ Please take a moment to read Valentino's obituary.

Valentino Javier Ritual was born January 26th, 2006 in Scappoose, Oregon. He spent his childhood in the tanks of the Tanasbourne Petco and found his way to Ritual via a hopeful young man delivering a belated Valentine. The romance didn't stick, but Valentino stuck around none-the-less. He spent his long 30 month life swimming in circles and having people affectionately ask "is he dead?" Valentino passed away on the evening Tuesday, September 22nd after fighting valiantly to stay upright. A bowl side service was held on Wednesday, September 23rd, and was attended by many who knew and loved him. In lieu of flowers, his family requests that rememberances be made to 104.1AM The Fish. Song requests are appreciated during our time of grieving.
