pet deathMy mate's little sister had gerbils and she used to free one at a time in the living room. Her favourite one used to run towards and her and she would jump over it and it would change directions and scamper back. Then one time it didn't and she stamped on it. She was seven and had bare feet.
The epilogue is that her mum scooped it off the carpet and said she was taking it to the vet. She flushed it down the toilet and bought an identical one from the local pet shop. Then put the new gerbil in the tank with the three surviving brothers. A gang war ensued and the final gerbil died of a gangrenous ear injury about a month later.
