R.I.P. Napoleon

The latest heatwave in NYC claimed a victim in the Breinholt household. Napoleon, A/K/A Napster, A/K/A Napstar, passed away last night. It was not really surprising, given that it was still probably 110 degrees in our apartment at 1:30 A.M. last night when we returned. Thankfully, the Jacks seem to be fine. Napoleon was a 14″ 4 lb. Tiger Oscar that I raised from the size of about 1″. I have had him since 2003. I know it is pretty nerdy, but I really felt like I had a bond with Napoleon. I taught him how to do some tricks and stuff. It really felt like he was a part of the family. I also feel like he had a personallity. He was like a rowdy little kid. He would re-arange the whole tank, every time I was gone for a few days. He would move everything, including a 50 lb. piece of drift wood. He also liked to dance to music and watch tv with us. Below, is a pic of him watching Reagan play guitar hero. Anyway, this is the 200th post on my new blog. I dedicate it to you, lil’ Napstar.
