[GO] OT: a sad goodbye
I thought it was a made-up creature, but I just googled & found out that a puggle is a baby platypus or echidna & the one I had looks just like the picture of the baby echidna at http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/~fourth_crossing/a_puggle.htm Can't believe I didn't know this before! The bag it comes in is for the hole in the ground where it lives. Jo (feeling very ignorant. I'm an Ozzie. I should have known this!) OK OK. What is a Puggle ???

Today I noticed a hole in it's bag and further investigation led to the discovery of little beetles that have slowly been eating at it and making it full of holes. It was also covered (inside the bag) with little white bits which look horribly like flea eggs so I assume they are beetle eggs - thousands of 'em. Poor Puggle had to go.

Re: [GO] OT: a sad goodbye
At the risk of sound paranoid, it is worth investigating further, especially if the chest of drawers contains clothes. I would have a good check to make sure that is the ONLY infestation.
