My dog died last week, and I'm already sick of people sending me that stupid Rainbow Bridge poem. Tell us about excellent (or rubbish) pets

Ratsicle
I used to have pet rats, as pets go, neither rubbish or excellent really but I did love the smelly little critters so just chucking them in the bin when they died wasnt ever an option.
One died in the middle of summer, at that point the garden was being dug over and a patio and raised bed being laid down so there was only one tiny bit of soil, no more than 8 inches deep suitable for burying it.
Until the following day when something had dug it up and decided it wasnt worth eating.
I reburied it and again it was dug up, so under cover of darkeness I hid it under a dead bush in next doors garden until i could bury it in a day or so when the raised bed was finished.
The following morning i looked out and saw that my neighbour had decided at that point to cut the bush down and was scooping it all up to put on a bonfire. So i had to go out and rescue it once again.
I put it in a bag and tied it to the back of my bench.
Where it stayed for another 3 very hot days until the bed was finished.
At that point when i opened the bag, I heaved and just poured the semi liquified remains in a hastily scooped hole.
The second died in winter when the ground was frozen solid and i couldnt bury it.
So i put it into a bucket and placed a tray on top of it.
It was about a week before I managed to get a hole dug.
Uncovered the bucket to find it had filled with water, a twig had fallen into it and the whole lot had frozen.
A neighbour came out to find me holding a giant popsicle with a deat rat in the middle and me giggling a bit maniacally.
I have their skulls now sitting on a shelf with lots of other animal skulls ive collected.

tl:dr
pets died and suffered an Ignominious burial

You collected their skulls like some kind of rat predator?

I collect animal skulls and have a specific area of garden specially for rotting down animal & bird carcasses.
As these seemed to resist all attempts to be buried, why not add them to my collection ;)

Unless you've gone all Wasp Factory.
In which case you've got bigger things to worry about than a collection of animal skulls.
