... when you're left looking after somebody's pet while they go on hol and it dies on you? I've heard of somebody who stored their neighbour's hamster in the freezer till the neighbour returned. Didn't go down well. My mother-in-law told her neighbours their budgie was buried in our garden when she'd dumped it in the bin. What would you do?
What is the etiquette for ...
I guess it would be different if its a goldfish or if its a great dane.
That's the thing ... Do folk care more about one kind of pet than another?
Yeah, depends on the type of pet I suppose.
If it was a cat or dog I think you should call them straight away. If it's just a fish then... bury it in their garden?
I dunno!
But don't flush it. That's totally out of order.

They seem to in my experience.
But everyone's different. Some might be massively attached to their fish!

Ever tried flushing a great dane down the toilet?
I would have thought freezing a hamster was quite a good idea? That way they could say goodbye to it and then bury it themselves.

What have you killed?
You could try eating it I suppose.

All my fish have gone down the bog.
Personally I'd stove the pets head in with a standard lamp and claim my kinermortophobia made me do it for fear of said pet returning as a zombie

I really mean flushing someone else's fish is out of order!
They might not be flushers.

Not a dead one, is that easier?

What would they do then? Keep their crap for ever?
>_<

They don't trust me with their pets. Though I once looked after a goldfish and 2 cats - not at the same time, fortunately

Yep. Brigitte Nielsen once got stuck down my bog.
