Looking after school pets for holidays

My DS came home with an aquarium filled with greenery and stick insects along with their eggs. I went into his bedroom and he had let them all out and they were all over the walls and climbing the curtains but this was 3 weeks after they went back to school or so I thought, he had kept some back to look after... erghhhh

DGS was in next door looking at their hamster last summer and the little one next door 3 yrs old got the hamster to swim in the water butt... it didnt survive

I once looked after my friends two cats while she was on holiday in Tunisia. Needless to say one escaped but she had a collar on so I put an advert in the local paper. After several misadventures we got her back and breathed a sigh of relief. A few days later my friend arrived at our house saying "Have you got the cat back?" They'd only had the local paper sent out to them in Tunisia and read the advert!!!

My daughter decided to give the schools hamster a bath, needless to say i had to replace him.

I remember my Nan house sitting for a daughter who had 2 kids. There was a dog and 3 piranahs to look after. We popped round and Nana was very upset because one of the piranahs had taken a big bite out of one of the others and killed it. She was very worried that it would somehow be seen as her fault, so she had extracted the dead fish and put it in the freezer as evidence.
