A short story now and if ever there was an example of the old adage "A dog is for life and not for Xmas" then this is one.

Two years ago my daughter wanted a hamster. She was 11 at the time. Shelley wasn't really keen because she doesn't really like rodents and also didn't want to be the one who'd ultimately have to look after it if suddenly the pet lost it's appeal but we relented. Esme is quite responsible but we made it quite clear that it was her pet- she would need to clean it out/feed him/play with him etc. She called him Ozzy and for the first couple of weeks everything was great. She was taking really good care of him.

A month into it, it was clear she was already bored of him. Not cleaning him out, handling him. We were nagging her to clean him, handle him- take care of him. Should we as parents step in? IDK- all I know is the poor hamster was not getting the care he deserved. It's shitty when you think about it sometimes- we, as humans, keep pets but when we're bored of them there's sweet f all the poor pet can do about it.

Two days ago I asked Esme when was the last time she cleaned Ozzy out. She couldn't even remember when or when she'd handled him. Me and Shelley went out last night- I said that while we're out she needs to make sure she cleans him out and handles him.

Fast forward to this morning- has she cleaned him out? Of course not. I request she does this again. She takes the cage downstairs to clean in. 5 mins later Kieran (Esme and Kieran are twins) pops up.

"Dad, Esme has a problem"

"What?"

"She thinks Ozzy might be dead"

The stench as I enter the lounge confirms our suspicions. Esme is upset and in tears but tbh I have little sympathy. Ozzy could have died anyway- think hamster don't live that long anyway but I suspect he's met his maker due to neglect which saddens me. Can't help feeling guilty myself for not taking care of the poor sod myself.

Protocol on how to get rid of said body? We're not really sure.

Can I suggest a bunny next time? Once he's tame he can live free in the garden so if your daughter forgets to feed him it's not a major panic, and they tend to live a bit longer.

Disagree with this mate.

I bought my sister a Leopard skin gecko about 5 years ago and luckily its low maintenance but she doesn't check it very often or make much effort with it.

If Esme was like this with a hamster, DON'T get her another pet imo.

Dear George

We found a dead pidgeon in the garden once .

 So we got an old shoebox and give it a proper burial with little stones to mark the spot

 and we even painted the stones white to look nice

My young'en said "That was great can we bury something else now "
