i just sat here for the last 2 hours reading all 43 pages of this thread, i laughed, i cried, i cringed, and now i'm hungry and thirsty from sitting here so long, fluffy is a great octopus, and you are definitely a caring owner, i don't think he could have asked for a better keeper than you, you have been there for him thru everything, near death experience/hunger strike:eek3:, you are truly an inspiration to alot of us who want to keep an octo, and you have proven that reasearching BEFORE you get into something like this is not only necessary, but mandatory, good luck with him, and anything else you get into.
