But it's still handy for a party trick or two - why not involve the kids and make it a family activity dressing the frozen wee spiky beast as different characters? Try 'snow queen of Narnia' with an origami crown for starters. Take some pictures, make a website...

Plan B anyone?

You could then take donations..........

Oh, and I found Cuddles. He's in the shed as well. Go take a look. I've got to go, fiance just called

[Board Game Geek]

Friend of mine had a chinchilla as a pet.

Ferkin thing escaped one day, gnawed every bleedin' wire in the lounge then disappeared.

About 3 weeks later, I was visiting him and I got up to make a cuppa in his kitchen.

The smell hit me as soon as I opened the door.

As I bent down, trying to locate the smell, I noticed a small army of maggots wriggling out from under the fridge.

I moved the fridge, and voila...one semi-decomposed chinchilla, that had got caught up in the wire rack thing at the back of a fridge.

So I donned some Marigold gloves, yanked the little fella out, popped him (along with his friends) on a plate.

I finished making the tea, then carried his cup and the plate of death (tm) out to his garden workshop.

He wasn't inside, so I left both items on his workbench.

I passed him, on the way back to the house, coming down the stairs from the upstairs loo.

I said "Your tea's in the shed. Oh, and I found Cuddles. He's in the shed as well. Go take a look. I've got to go, fianceé just called".

So off he heads to the garden shed, just as I'm getting in to my car on the drive.

I swear the scream was heard by everyone in the cul-de-sac.


ps...£20 for an injection seems a bit steep. I'd have stoved its' head in with a shovel forra fiver.

When I was a kid my folks bought me a puppy (Lester) He lasted about 3 days as he was really ill. I thought things were not right when proud as punch I took him for his first (and only) drag around the block. He obviosly didn't want to know. On the third day I came in from school and my little brother met me at the door with the words - Your dog is dead...Mum killed it! I ran to see his (new and hardly used) basket only to find that it had been binned

Nothing like breaking the bad news......

Actually it was the vet who killed it, although I still suspect it was my dad and a shovel to put him out of his misery and save a few quid.

To this day I still laugh when I think about my old man confessing to killing my hamster. Apparently he was in the lounge watching telly when what he thought was a mouse sneaked past in his peripheral vision. Apparently he took to it with his shoe creating an unholy mess, i.e. an open casket would not have been an option. When my old lady realised and informed him he had killed my hamster he was distraught. I think I'd forgotten about it a week after he told me it died of old age.

Brilliant.

Am staying at the wife's place this week looking after the pets, and sod's law, one of the little critters has gone and pegged it. My youngest daughter's hamster, called Midnight.

Found it on the bottom of its cage this morning, barely breathing. Took it to the vet, where they said the only thing they could do would be to put it down. Which they did. And it cost me £20.

All in all, not a good start to the day. And it's getting worse...

I am very sorry to hear that. The kids Hamster (lovely tinky) died a few months ago. They took it very well. Thankfully none of them have asked why it had a relatively short life (only 10 months old)

Age shall not weary it, nor the years condemn.

It shall not grow old as those that are left grow old.

Pretty close i'd guess. Although he did promise to reveal his true opinions of those on this board as well.

Don't let your wife see you do that.

For entertainment, you could dip it in water, blow dry it so the fur is still a little damp but spiky, and place it in the freezer. Fashion a tiny pair of 'polar explorer' goggles for effect, and say it died heroically on an expedition.

Just a thought, HTH.

I'm pretty sure that's the only time I've ever LOL'ed at a post on this forum.

Love it
