I'm leaving, and I'm taking Harold the dog, or perhaps Harold is taking me, but either way, we are leaving. You have grown fat upon the couch and the dog no longer holds any respect for you. You can keep the fish, the fish has no need for respect.

I am leaving, and I'm taking your wife. You should have seen it coming. I left your newspaper and slippers by the kitchen table. I hope you don't mind, but I took the job section, I have a family to support now. No hard feelings.

Harold and Maude have left. It's just you and me now, I think it might be for the best. If you need to talk you know where I am. I still love you, but you need to love yourself again. Your mother called, but I couldn't get to the phone. She left a message. Can you get some more fish food while you're out?

I expected it of her, but I thought we were best friends? I'm not bitter, I just wish it hadn't ended this way. The fish died last week. I think I forgot to feed him. Do you know where my tennis ball is?



**Feeling down today, so wrote this to cheer me up. A separation from 4 perspectives 1.the wife 2.the dog. 3.the fish 4.the husband. Better go, I think the Nobel Prize comittee are calling...

I really liked this, my two favourite parts are

and

I liked the fishes response to the whole thing and that the husband doesn't care about the fish at all.

the only thing i found annoying was the I am rather than I'm, but that's probably because it reads like they are speaking, and I am sounds very formal. especially for a dog.

Its always interesting to see the different viewpoints of goodbye.   Even better that they were short and concise.   You might have been in a less than pleasant mood when you wrote it, but the underlying sarcasm of it was crisp and amusing.   

The ending, aside the obvious, was excellent.

Finally got around to somewhat of a pseudo-critique.
