She was the one that found it though this time, so she has had to deal with the death too.

Oh and before you ask, we didn't bury those under the allotment or in the woods and they were too big for the wheelie bin!!!

Couldnt you have a ceremony where you bury the guinea pig and release balloons as part of that ?

Bury it. Sorted.

I've buried a cat, guinea pig and Ram before (don't ask). My friend helped bury a horse once but it was quite hard as he had to squish it into the hole with a digger due to the rigor mortis.

Lovely. My mind associated a crunching of bones with that comment, nice.

The hardest thing was he had to appear to be "gentle" with his digger as the owner was there...

gentle with a digger?? never heard that before, i can now probably blame you for me going to hell aswell....

do you go to hell for this kind of stuff?????

Not if you're an atheist

hmmmm intreging, where do you go

you can't just shove a horse in the loo and flush it like a hamster you know, no wonder you had to push...
