    My brother bought a house in New Zealand and a previous owner was buried in the garden. (Legally)
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    OMG - I have been crying at this

    Some of the one liners have been brilliant!

    If this is all true...

    One thing though - how do they know that the dog will still be there when they move in?

    Who's to say that you haven't moved it or got rid of it in the meantime?

    If this isn't a wind up, then I would seriously get something in writing from them etc with pics, incase, when the sale goes through (if it still does) they then complain about the dog buried where the pond was....environmental health issue etc etc!

    no more update, except the neighbour has popped round to ask "are we having work done"

    I have just told him (as he is elderly) that we are having the pond filled in.

    The daughter used the loo and commented that I should top up the water in the bath as it doesnt look deep. Nice fish she said.

    I bet that the neighbours are already hanging out of the bedroom window, wait until the dog arrives, and the service starts. Do you have a portable CD to use in the garden? you could play "Ben" (I know it was a rat, but the sentiment is the same!!)

    So let me just get this straight, in your garden now, is the body of a dead Great Dane that doesn't actually belong to either of the people who 'potentially' are buying your house...it's their daughters dog.

    So over the next few weeks you'll be staring at the mound in your garden, where your fishpond used to be, hoping the sale goes through and that your wife won't mind too much.


    Erm... best of british to you.:D

    the dog isnt here yet. Right now the man is kneeling on a bit of cloth hacking away at the concrete whilst the daughter is sat on my table and chair set drinking her tea. I am sat here starving wondering why i answered the door this morning.:mad:
