Erasmo committed suicide

He was looking a little forlorn yesterday, refusing to get out of his shell and eat food. Today G. found him submerged in his water bowl, his shell soft, his body lifeless. I am thinking of letting the rest of my snails free. Be free, little snail, I can't deal with your suicidal tendencies right now.

And for your next pet? But consider carefully the statement you are making when you choose an "exotic pet" (ornament or animal?) A dog is REAL pet...

The snail was a helix aspera, common brown garden snail, definitely not an giant african land snail.

If I get tired of the dog I'll just set him free to his natural environment.... not.
