Ok, i just did something that I'm sure most will think is very stupid.... I rescued my fish (i think)
My poor little goldfish had managed to sook up a stone from the bottom of the tank and get it stuck in it's wee mouth!
After watching the poor thing struggle to get it out, and being stuck nose down on the botton, and trying to bash the stone of the side to get it out, something compelled me to go and rescue the creature! (maybe I was taking inspiration from steve crocodile hunter?......)
Anyway, after guddling about for a few minutes I finally caught him and tried to pull the stone out, but with no luck.
By this point I felt like I was on a real rescue mission, so ran to get some tweezers.
When I put my hand back in the tank, the wee fish actually swam (well, an attempt at swimming with a giant rock in it's mouth) over to my hand and sat in it, v strange.... then I was able to pull out the stone with the tweezers - ouch!! it looked nasty!
I can't believe how much the adrenaline was pumping, all for my little gold fish!
He'll probably die by tomorrow, but at least I tried!
Does anyone think this is weird? I just phoned den and he laughed at me!

Haha, den has also reminded me of the time when I tried to rescue a shrew that had been caught by a cat.
This involved me sprinting across the road after a cat I saw with it in it's mouth, then getting scratched all over by said cat as I tried to get the thing out its mouth, then watching the wee thing leap out my hands and down a drain.
It had tried to escape from me and the nearest place was down the drain, which must have been like one us falling down a well.
I could see the shrew swimming round and round in circles, but the drain was covered over by a grate, with no way out for the shrew.
Instead of me thinking that was it, I ran to ask a builder for a screwdriver so I could save the creature.
After unscrewing the cover, I had to dip my hand in the minging drain to fish the beastie out.
I then carried it all the way back across the road so I could show den, but just as I said
'look what I've got' , it decided to sink its teeth into my thumb and not let go!
I think it got more damage from me shaking it off, than it did from being in the cats mouth!
Doh!
i can truthfully say that ive also resuccitated a goldfish..... but not with the use of tweezers...
i just shook him around and blew onto him....
he's lived another 6 months atleast... and still going strong.....
well done hun
I was with my ex driving home late one night and a fox ran out in front of us straight into the front of the car. I got out and had a look and he was still alive though injured so got her coat, wrapped it up and took it home.
When I got it home I put it in a tea chest and gave it a blanket to lay on, my dog throwing a fit in the hallway because it could smell it, and also tried to give it some milk...thats when the ungrateful little bugger bit me!! I ended up in casualty having a tetanus!
Needless to say the fox was ok, released it back into its habitat later in the day after a vet had checked it out!
STORMY!!!!!
Step away from the hampster and shrew stories :giggle:
LOVE
FIRE xx
Well, my fish has survived the night!!!!
hmmm, any name suggestions for the lucky wee thing?........................
"Lucky" ? or "Get a life"?
:happy:

sorry maz :rose: :inlove:
My best mate whilst housesitting had to rescue all the fish from our huge aquarium when it unexpectedly burst! She managed to get most of them into our daughters tank- before shredding the carpet with a stanley knife & posting it through the window.
Word of advice- choose your friends carefully- this one has spent years working in marine rescue!
Classic quote though- her, on phone late at night "omg- your fish tanks busdt, theres water everywhere- shit- your carpets ruined mate!!"
Me "oh well, it needed hoovering anyway"
Im so laid back it scares me sometimes!
20mins later i pull in to vets car park...gently pick the bird up and realise it cold,stiff n dead :upset: so take it home to bury it crying all the way :sad:
