Hope you can help. Our buyer turned up this am to say their dog had died and they wanted to bury it in our garden as they couldnt bear the thought of leaving her behind that their house when they move. They had the dog in the boot with a pitchfork.

I couldnt giv them an immediate answer as I was abit flummoxed in my Pajamas presented witha dead great dane.

Should i take this as a sign of commitment and let the bury the dog. I said I would let them know either way. I wouldnt want to jeapodise the sale...:A

It could have been worse.
Have you been watching Emmerdale, the Dingles have buried the old scruffy fella in the garden after he popped his clogs.
Very moneysaving idea that !

they are selling. it is their daughter who lives in council flat with no garden of her own.

I didn't think you were supposed to keep dogs in a council flat, there's usually something in the Tenancy agreement banning pets.

"Sheffield Homes, which manages the city's 42,000 council houses, said a rule banning dogs from flats has always been in place."

I can assure you the Koi died. I think it may have something to do with topping up the bath water yesterday.

Will you now be asking the owner of the house you are buying (https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/26379250) if you can bury your dead Koi in their garden?

lots of ppl ignore their tenancy agreements....

the bloke below me has a huge dog cooped up in a london flat with a small balcony. our's is private so is his, unless he owns the place, but even then he'd be breaking the long lease.

dog drives me bonkers barking it seems quite cruel..

Well, popped home for lunch and there was a note through the door



The worrying line for me was when they went to see the medium the dog asked "can you smell pegs?"

Why does that letter link to a facebook album about the Holby City sets?

No there isn't. I can keep 2 dogs in my council flat if i choose to. I actually have the letter from the council confirming this as well. There is nothing whatsoever about pets being banned from council flats. Not all councils follow the one example you linked to.
