I don’t really consider him a pet, per se, but whatever.

He’s a blue whale. He’s very sweet and empathetic but he also has the memory of a goldfish and forgets what words mean. He likes to exclaim “Yay!” and flap his flippers, even at statements like “Joe Biden is in town” or “I’m probably going to die.” When he’s sad it only lasts a few minutes; then he forgets why he’s sad.

I’m terrified of losing him so usually he stays at a friend’s house, but he’s kicking it with me.

He was originally intended to be a gift for the friend who won’t talk to me. But now he’s my best friend.
