    they offered near to the asking price so I am not going to rock the boat and demand more money. i think they may have lost their bargaining chip now though seeing as I have their precious pet.

    It just amazes me they managed to dispense with the concrete so fast in order to bury the dog with is head in the peg bag, no need for any jcb digger / skip or anything. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    The estate agent has just called me to see how things went. I told him and I tHink he nearly fell off his chair.

    He told me Mrs and Mrs X called him at 10am this morning to say they still love the property and they want to come back again this evening to measure up and say goodbye to the dog (as Mrs wasnt there this am). So they are coming round at 6pm. I told the estate agent they could have measured up yesterday and I suggsted to him that the lounge and garden was large enough to swing a dead dog as demonstrated in the last 24 hours.

    Tell them to pop the Great Dane in their freezer and they can bury it when they actually own the house

    I kid you not when I tell you that my son had a rather 'special' friend who kept Great Danes. When one of them died, she indeed popped it in the freezer, as she intended to break into the local cemetery in the middle of the night and bury the dog. She wanted to involve my son in this enterprise, but fortunately he decided that wandering around at night with a deep-frozen Great Dane was not a great idea. I never found out whether she had the presence of mind to fold the dead beast's legs before she froze it.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Do you mean as in she had "special needs"?;)
