  • RIP Dude.

    on

    Sadly, yesterday our favorite fish passed away. In remembrance, we’d like to share this poem.

    Dearest Dude, your eyes were so big
    and we’re sorry Andy’s toys tried to kill you with a twig

    You charmed all the girls
    as you swam in your swirls

    We know you’re in a better place
    Sorry you could only get your mermaid statue girlfriend to first base

    Your mom loved you and the office did too
    We miss your face and will never forget you

    Dude. August 15, 2009 – August 12, 2010
