    The neighbour kid of the previous owners of our dog loved her and played a lot with her when she was a puppy. So when he was told 'she had moved to a farm in the country" he demanded to visit her. This was arranged, it was lovely to see his relief on his face when he saw he hadn't been lied to and his friend was in good hands.

      my parents never lied to me about a pet dying and growing up I always thought it was sad that other kids were told that theirs "went to a farm" because it wasn't true and they'd think the pet was ok but could never see it again, which is worse than them just being dead and gone. I'm so glad that your dog got to see her friend again and that the kiddo hadn't been lied to

      My dog had anxiety about being left alone, so he genuinely went to live on a farm where he wouldn’t be left by himself. He was also renamed “Houdini”because he was just as great at escaping in his new home as he was in ours! I received pictures and was informed when he genuinely passed. It would also have been strange for my mom to start lying about our pets when we were eleven with a history of dead fish, birds, cats, and a previous dog. That said, I had a very funny conversation with my best friend when I mentioned my dog genuinely went to live on a farm. She looked sympathetic with the “oh you sweet summer child” face until I explained that I was indeed given proof of his health on a farm-at which point she totally lost it 😊

    I was told my cat was adopted by the delivery man and travelled around delivering things like the cat in postman pat. Anytime I heard the door knock i run to see if it was my delivery cat who left me for a delivery job. Mum could never order from great universal again. To this day I still have the odd fleeting image of my little kitty working as a delivery cat when I get a delivery

    My mother never allowed pets. We had a goat and a field full of sheep, and a bunch of chickens but they weren’t our pets. So when I had my own family and my son was growing up he wanted pets. He started with a rescue cat that didn’t like people. My son wasn’t giving up. One night he decided to give the cat a bath…probably the first and only bath she ever had! When she jumped out of the water and stuck her claws into my son’s chest on her way out of the bathroom, he screamed for me to catch her!! Not on your life! So we ended up with the cat that never liked anyone, a beagle who loved everyone, a chihuahua who wasn’t too bright, a pair of miniature quail, and an iguana who began life at our house as a rescue and grew to be 5 foot long! When my son grew to a man, his first pet was a gorgeous black and white Great Dane whom everyone loved. He certainly was an animal lover ❤

    I went on a cross country trip for school. When I got back home, I went down to the barn to feed the horses. My favorite girl didn’t come in from the pasture to eat no matter how much I called and banged the feed can. It wasn’t usual, sometimes she was like that.
    Asked my parents, they said she’s been staying down the pasture. Okay, plausible. A week later I walked the pasture but couldn’t find her. Also not unusual, as the horses had access to two other pastures via trails and I’ve missed the horses by choosing the wrong pasture/trail.
    Another week goes by, and my mom tells me “Blacky died while you were away. We buried her down the bottom pasture.”
    … I mean they didn’t lie exactly but I felt like an idiot.

    My Mom said my dog had a headache so she went to the vet never to return. As an adult I told my brother what Mom had told me and he laughed. Apparently the dog had started attacking everyone except me out of aggression so she put her to sleep before she caused a serious bite. My Mom had me afraid of headaches, but curiously my mother died of a brain aneurysm (headache). Moral - never lie to kids! My children buried their pets in the yard with a full burial and prayer per my husband’s assistance. 😊

      We had a pair of tightly bonded cats named Sonic and Knuckles. At the age of 17 Sonic got very ill. Knuckles stayed with him, with a paw on his shoulder until he passed away. All of my children were there. We buried Sonic under the catnip patch. Knuckles was front row at the funeral.
      Knuckles died a year later and was buried next to his brother.

    When I was a kid we had a labrador who ate the chooks and was a real problem. My parents told me he went to live in the city. (Because we lived on a kind of a farm.)
    I didn’t believe them.
    A few years later, we went to the city AND WHO SHOULD BE THERE? Yep, Kestril Tamberlain Patterville Larby, our black labrador.
    I had zero responsibility for naming him. And, btw, my mother and stepfather who DID name him, were much less esoteric about naming their kids. Also, the kids who had the most names - my brothers, 4 names each - only had the same number of names as Kes the dog. Us girls only had 3 names each.
