Dead Guinea Pig - What to do?

In the grouind, squished by a digger if my mate buries you, or up in the air attached to ballons if Lone Wolf deals with you, in a wheelie bin if Hovis gets hold of you, it's all a matter of who your friends are.

Barbecue?

My girlfrend is a vet and her practise charges £10 for the "Disposal" service as they are charged by the people that collect them. Then there's the cryogenic storage (chest freezer) until the weekly collections.

You could even get fancy and have the ashes back in a Cat shaped urn. That would be quite funny!

Probably OK in your own garden, but iffy anywhere else that is not a designated ' Waste Disposal ' site. Now we are beginning to realise the sheer scale of the ( mainly unnecessary ) laws that have been enacted, or even dreamt up without debate or vote, in the past few years.

Bury it in your garden nice deep hole.It will decompose long before anyone digs it up,and might just help your flowers to grow better next year.

So it was you that buried the bloody goat in the garden of my ex, only to be dug up by the kids next door ''ere wots this leg sticking out of the flowers''

What ever you do, do not bury hammy the guinea pig in a plastic bag, or one day some poor git will dig up a mummified piggy
A friend of mine got a house, and did a large amount of 'excavating' due to a whole load of mummified pets buried under the garden by the previous owner

I buried my persian cat under the lawn. There was a fairy circle that grew in the grass right in the middle, so we buried her there, but the hole ended up being 6ft wide because the 'ring' was above a giant ball of concrete for a washing pole or something. Then we buried freddy the gerbil in the same plot a couple of years later, but now they are covered with paving flags. The rabbit is buried under a load of block paving now too. But I won;t bury any more. My first cat is buried behind my uncles house on the moor, and he has daffodils growing above his plot now

Flippin' eck Dizzy, talk about a graveyard in your back garden! Wondered what the funny smell was....oh hang on that was Matt

Lol! I heard an ace tale from someone who went travelling round south america... for a 500 dooda's you got a shot with an RPG-7, for another 500 doo-da's you get a cow.

If you missed, you got 500 of it back!
