Having a BAD day

[Moose423956]

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...

£20 to kill a dying hamster!!! You should have given Freddy Starr a call.

I'm pretty sure a garden spade would have done the job just as swiftly and humanely.

Thanks for the sympathy guys. I'll be burying her later. My daughter wants to hold a memorial service on Sunday.

Are you sure it wasn't just hibernating?

It isn't now...

Cue "Dead parrot sketch..."

No, it had pus coming out of its girl bits. I have to bury it later today, so I've put it in the fridge so it doesn't start to pong.
