I don't know. Confused

But I am the evil witch who killed a Tamagotchi through neglect. Blush

What was even worse, I was on holiday and my battery ran out on my DS on the second day, and my dog did not get fed or walked for two weeks Shock

YANBU

I was once responsible for the death of a tamagotchi.

giyadas · 17/02/2011 23:08

Grin ah, a fellow tamagotchi killer.

Ach dd1 forgets about hers for months at a time. They seem to be quite hgardy little dogs. Dd2 has to pick up the slack and care for them for her.

pigletmania · 17/02/2011 23:10

Its really sad because if I have not fed or walked cuddles (its name) I feel really bad.

I did once intentionally murder remove the batteries of DD's blinkie. That was the most passive/aggressive guilt-inducing sickly piece of technological crap ever to make it's way through our front door.
Im glad it's dead.

pigletmania · 17/02/2011 23:20

Well I got told off when I took cuddles for a walk, by another dog walker Grin, and when I forgot to pick his poo lol. Why do I take these things so literally Sad really

Shock you didn't pick up the poo?
Honestly, some people just aren't fit to have imaginary electronic dogs Angry
I bet you let it jump up at people too, don't you?

pigletmania · 17/02/2011 23:29

I know I know the guilt emotion giyadas, got a bit of a bolloking from a fellow dog walker. Was not quick enough with the stylus.

giyadas · 17/02/2011 23:31

Oh that old chestnut eh? If I had a pound for everytime I've heard the old stylus excuse I'd have......um....a pound. Grin

Get a real one. Picking up turds is a great way to spend 30 seconds.

Mandymoonbeam · 17/02/2011 23:35

I killed my daughters - didn't check her pockets and washed it in the washing machine. Felt really guilty.

pigletmania · 17/02/2011 23:39

You bugger! I was about to go raging in and rollock you! :o

"I would love a real dog but I have Eczema dont know how i would react to a dog or pet."

You could always consider helping out at a rescue or fostering in order to find out what life (and health) is like with a dog, Piglet. That way you're under no obligation and would be a wonderful help.

giyadas · 17/02/2011 23:50

I recommend getting ducks if you have a garden, they're great, and they live (mostly) outside. I only got some due to chance but can't imagine being without them now. Not sure what allergies or irritations they may trigger though.

giyadas · 17/02/2011 23:51

Grin vallhala's here! whatever she says.

pigletmania · 18/02/2011 09:17

mandymoonbeam "I killed my daughters" -
this sentence could really do with the appropriate apostrophe!
