Heaven Just Got A Little More Nyac The Otter

thumbnail icon: Heaven Just Got A Little More Nyac The Otter

Nyac the otter has passed away, you guys. He's most famous for holding hands with another otter, Milo, and floating around. Although, as a survivor of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, he should probably be most famous for that. Being most famous for holding hands with another otter when you are a survivor of the Exxon Valdez oil spill is like being famous for eating ice cream after surviving the Holocaust, at least in the otter community. SAME DIFF. In any case, here is a tribute to the brave otter Nyac, who succumbed to chronic lymphocytic leukemia yesterday, which is a thing I did not know otters could succumb to.

Goodbye, sweet Nyac. You're up in otter heaven now, holding hands with the angels and floating around.

DAMN IT!!! I don't know how to make a smiley face (not so smiley face) that represents my utter sadness. I think OTTERS are the cutest animals ever- and NYAC was even cuter, because he was a survivor and liked to hold hands.

The world grieves for it's loss of you NYAC- I grieve for the loss of you.....

Wait a second... chronic lymphocytic leukemia? WTF!

Ohhh!!! OTTER SADNESS...LOL

Angelaaaa- if I knew you and where you lived I would buy you a soda- however, that would be kind of (really) crazy. So- I will refrain from asking you those questions and we can just pretend I bought you a soda ;-)

OTTER SADNESS...oh my- that's the best!

I can't believe that otter was just a few years younger than me. I had no idea they lived so long.
