The Amigos: The Legend

The legacy

On one fatefull day in september of 2005 while walking down an aisle I turned my head to the aquariums. Fifty dollars in my pocket. I looked both ways and looked for the fastest most agile fish. Bought some food and a water pitcher for them to live. And that's where the legacy of Huey , Duey and luey all came to pass. A group of amigos who life expectantcy should have not hAve exceded a year.

However there was more then three. Charlie. He was the forth fish. For obvious reasons he did not fit the bill of Huey duey and luey. The three amigos plotted together to kill Charlie. A fight occured and Charlie didn't make it. One week later three fish remain. And a legacy was born

They survived four months in a dormitory. Where all living things are tested and re tested for rigidness and torture. Six months in my first apartment. Where I don't know how even I survived. These three amigos stood strong. Then, when I thought a job in yellowknife was coming through. Three weeks with Dustin. The amigos banded together. Fasting, planning, reherrsing for when there owner would come back to them. ThAt's when I joined Matt and Eric g. At the 4741 4 th ave. Many long days doing nothing cept atv offroad and watching Davinci inquest. 2 months later with Eric leaving Regina behind and moving to van. Finally a place where the amigos could call home.
With me keeping an eye out on this home. Matt invted Dylan to move in. Dylan worked As a backdrop painter and kept keeping on. Then The arrival.
This arrival was the first time I met this fellow. So bright with enthusiam and knew his to swim with delicate ease. Todd wells joined Matt, dylan, the Amigos and I. Thus apartment was always filled with people. Four people on a regular basis and often one to two bands would stay over. Keeping everyone roaring. The amigos loved the company. But it didn't last for long

With travel dates in the US means left the apartment. Huey, duey and luey were alone again. With just I to feed them watch them. Then came the life of the party. Kurtis moved in.
Kurtis attended wester for four months. Then left just as he came. And has not been back to live since. He never said bye

My bro moved in the the amigos and I. It's different living with brother. Just ask the amigos. Pretty sure they were sick of eAch other.

We stayed for six months then moved to the smoke house. Huey didn't have the lungs after all the rigerous testing of the dorm boys and sercum to his defeat. Huey , we loved him. He had a gentle heart. The first leg of the tripod known as the amigos had broke. But with an excellent balancing act stayed alive. After Matt was sentenced to dojack I left the smoke house to a knewly renovated apartment with fireplace and new cabinets and a heated toilet. Duey and luey soon forgot about huey and had an eAsy six months. Just ate and swam in their own poop. That's the life I wish apon no one. But they loved it.

Six months later I moved into the house of Tim a. Of the Reynold st clan. Duey never had a chance. Four months in almost four years old he Ate his last red flake. Luey, was left alone. Huey and duey gone, leaving the once proud tripod. The amigos where left with the amigo. I thought about buying other fish to keep him company. But he didn't want it. You see

He was a bully. The tough one. A life alone is what he wanted so it's what he received. Almost five years after being purchased the last of a heroic breed died. After 23 years of waiting and praying. The riders secured 1 st in the west. The celebration was wild and with excitment. Someone knocked over the pitcher containing luey. Luey, flopping around on the floor. Didn't see it coming. All the years of waiting, floating and swimming. A old age death would not come. Fish slaughter. Accidental After trying to revive he was pronounced dead on the scene. I never got to say bye. For I was At the rider game. The legacy died on the fatefull night. He never made it to my new stage in life. Huey duey luey. You touched all of us in one say or another. For living through the worst living conditions to just being thrown in to new situations. They were the rock of everything. For I knew they would always be there. May you rot qucikly in the sewers of Regina. And your legacy live on.
