my dad had this huge fish tank with tropical fish, he put a lot of time and money into it, until he went on holiday and my sister bought a pair of japanese fighting fish which are really expensive and can be quite hard to get hold of for a suprise for him when he got back, by the time he did get home there was 1 fish left, the female had eaten all the other fish (about 50) plus its partner,

 

PMSL excellent

Blimey! check out the woman on BBC1 - she's got 59 pets at her house!

As well as the squirrel, which she is getting rid off because it is ruining her house, she has a snake & a lizard.

 

Thankfully all were in cages & tanks when i visited her !

 

 

surely there's nothing stranger than the original pet rock:

We had pet sticks at school.

 

Our teacher made them for us, it was basically a small stick with 2 eyes stuck on it & then some vanish to make it look shiny. We all gave them names & would take them to school with us every day.

 

Oh to be young & innocent again.
