Have you seen Pets? Heartbreaking.

bibbitybobbitybunny · 11/04/2012 23:07

For the life of me I cannot understand why hq don't do something about this.

Why the prevarication, why the procrastination, why not simply sell out and rename the WHOLE Mumsnet site AIBU?

???

How do I tell my little one that our precious dog has snuffed it?

GetOrfMoiLand78 · 11/04/2012 23:08

I am a bit more cheery than a pissy old terrapin custy.

Poor old terrapins. Even having Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo and Michaelangelo as poster boys for a generation didn't spark much interest.

Do you know another shite pet? cockatiels. Cock being the operative word, as in cock off you useless bitey birds.

GetOrfMoiLand78 · 11/04/2012 23:09

I would LOVE to start a thread entitled 'crap pets' but fear that the more militant of our mumsnet friends would bloody flame me to death for my heartlessness.

When do I let on to my child that the cat who has slept at the foot of her bed for five years has been flattened by a reckless neighbour?

LineRunner · 11/04/2012 23:10

I'll tell you what, I've been more fucking traumatised by Pets than by AIBU.

WorraLiberty · 11/04/2012 23:10

I'm becoming increasingly alarmed at the amount of dead pets LineRunner has Shock

Step away from the pets, line.

The only thread in pets which has got more than 6 or 8 replies is about a crow. Hmm

"cock off you useless bitey birds."

I totally did not expect so much comedy from this thread. I am sitting here in a deserted resto waiting for the last alcoholic customer to leave.

Thank you MNetters

Stick insects do exist.

Try starting a thread entitled AIBU to think Super Models have great figures

CupOfBrownJoy · 11/04/2012 23:12

That's Pets for you.

Either you get zero interest, or flamed to death by the dog frothers....

These are posts I have just read Pets.

Well, paraphrased. A bit.

GetOrfMoiLand78 · 11/04/2012 23:14

I said this on another thread yesterday, but when I was little I had a fascination with snails, and collected a lovely load of them, kept them in an old fish tank suitably decorated and festooned with shrubs. It was like a Candy and Candy penthouse of the snail world.

I wanted to jazz the snails up a bit, so painted them all with a mix of nail varnish and humbrol. It killed them all, like that bint in Goldfinger. Sad

I still feel guilty killing all those poor snails. Sad

I should write a misery lit book about it.

CupOfBrownJoy · 11/04/2012 23:14

Try one in Dogs entitled "I want one of those super cute little puppies that my neighbour has got by accidentally allowing her Bichon Friese (sp?) to be shagged half to death by her boyfriend's Rottie"

The hours just fly by.....

D0oinMeCleanin · 11/04/2012 23:14

Cockatiels have no subsection either Sad

Poor neglected cockateil owners have to post in pets and no-one answers. We did warn you this would happen when you sent all us pet people our seperate ways.

WorraLiberty · 11/04/2012 23:14

Ant farms

They're fucking pointless too but I suppose as we're in a recession, a bucket of earth with a few ants inside can make a cheap Birthday pressie for the MIL.

CupOfBrownJoy · 11/04/2012 23:15

We started worm farms, which involved filling a jam jar with soil and then inserting all the worms we could dig up in my parents' garden.

They fried to death. A day later we had little worm shaped twiglets....

Sad

I CRIED once when I started a thread saying that I think Victoria Beckham was a good egg and that she wasn't too thin. I was so flamed. Bastards.

CupOfBrownJoy · 11/04/2012 23:19

Naive at best, GetOrf.... Sad

GetOrfMoiLand78 · 11/04/2012 23:20

lol at cup and the worm massacre Grin

CupOfBrownJoy · 11/04/2012 23:23

I still feel bad about that.

Actually the worst thing I ever did (and I still get The Guilt about it) is spin my friends hamster round in its little hamster ball. G-force quick. Poor bugger didn't know if it was coming or going.

I am friend to all God's creatures now. Honestly.
