I knew you were trouble
when you flew in

 When my best friend and I were like 10 we came across a squirrel acting really strangely, caught it in a butterfly net, and fixed up a home for it in our ~*secret clubhouse*~ inside a fishtank. In the middle of summer. The poor squirrel didn't last very long. It was very ill or injured to begin with but I don't think the fishtank did it any favors.

Holy poo poo. :smith:

When I was in first grade or so i was really excited to tell my Dad about something so when I heard his car pull up I opened the front door. Every once in a while our Britney Spaniel, Annie, and our little mutt, Ted, would try to escape and they picked that day to make a go. Ted squirmed out between my legs and Annie went out under my shoulder. I snagged Annie's collar but she was way stronger than me so she just yanked me into a bush off the front step. When just one got out they usually were easy to catch but when it was both they usually disappeared for a bit. If I had happened to get Ted's collar he was a tubby little old chi mix so the whole thing would have been avoided.

This time we never saw them again. My Dad freaked out and screamed at me when it happened and I still get emotional thinking about it. I would go out into the little scrap of woods in our suburban hell rattling leashes and dog biscuits and calling them every month or so for, I want to say, five years at least. There's been loads of other stuff I've done or seen or had happen to me that was way, way worse, but that's probably the single thing in life that's bothered me the most because I internalized it so heavily.

:smith: you deserve an e-hug.

Well so does everybody in this thread but getting blamed for an accident like that really, really, sucks. :sympathy:

As a kid, the neighbor girl put her pet rabbit into a tupperware container and put her under the bed to keep her safe.

The rabbit suffocated to death.

What an awful way to go.

 This thread is equal parts depressing and horrifying but I can't stop reading it.
