: Don't flush!!
: 4dogmom October 15, 2005, 03:47:11 PM

OK what do most people do when a fish dies? flush it right? Not thinking I told my son to flush his oscar. WRONG, forgot the thing was 7 or 8 inches long. So it got stuck in the u shape of the toilet. we plunged for days, finially said " you work at home depot, bring home a snake thingy" So he does and on the first try the snake thingy breaks. Now we have to remove the toilet and fish out the fish. Yeesh and I thought I would have a hard time with 7 dogs in the house. NOT.
Isn't life fun with all these surprises?  Blaming myself, kicking my own but for even saying flush it. live and learn. duh.

Oh no!  That's too funny!  We can totally relate--we used to have salt water fish about that size and always had to have, um, "curbside" funerals for them.   :P

Heeheehee..... ............so rry, can't help it.

You know I probably would have done the same thing.  Who knew it would get stuck?  I will remember this for future reference in case I ever get big fish.
