How to Remove Pets

[Rachel Ellis]

Pets often make for a delightful addition to any family. After all, what's cuter than waking up to the gentle affectionate licks of a small kitten or the delicate barks of an excited puppy?

However, unfortunate circumstances may sometimes come about and you may have to make the most difficult choice of your life: just how should you go about murdering your pet?

It's happened to the best of us. You and your life partner decide that new carpeting would make a positively delightful addition to your suburban home. But you both know that you can't trust Max to only release waste when outdoors, so it's either the carpet or the puppy that has to go. Being the intelligent person that you are, you wisely decide to end Max's life; after all, the carpet will cost upwards of fifteen hundred dollars, whereas Max was only a few Benjamins.

So, how do you go about killing the sweet innocent puppy without anyone knowing that it was murder and not an accident?

If you didn't already have a normal walking regiment with your dog, start one. Find a park nearby to take your pet, but ensure that it has some body of water.

Most people don't realize that cats will act fairly well on the end of a leash as well! So, don't hesitate to buy a specialized cat leash from the mall pet store just for your cat or kitten. Getting them used to walks will only take a few days or so.

So, at this point, you should be taking your cat or dog on regular walks near a lake or pond of some sort. The next installment will give detailed instructions on the next part of your secret plan, so be sure to visit this site again in a couple of days.

Smile -- you're now 33% closer to having one less "family" member!
