before you go off on your hols.. there is a BOXER DOG DESIGN - CANVAS PEG BAG for sale on ebay -

Maybe you could get the Great Dane design for a replacment for your good lady, i am sure she will love it ....

I wonder am I the only one to look?[/QUOTE]

we will not be replacing the pag bag. we are going to look into purchasing a peg basket. Then at least the next time a dog is presented it can be used as a muzzle.

You better string it out otherwise it will be a short book.

EA came round this morning. He said he wont use a picture of the garden rockery in case the local vicar recognises bits of the old village. I had to agree, I cant remember last seeing a stone replica of Jesus on a cross strangled with Lobelias.

Great News - we have a viewer tomorrow morning and they mentioned the thread - said, dont worry we wont be bringing the dog! God knows how they knew it was my house, but heh ho, fingers crossed! hopefully we can get back on track

Thanks for this thread, it made me and my son laugh so much.


I speak as somebody who has just had to have my beautiful house rabbit Freddie put to sleep. He was really poorly and no spring chicken. his ashes are now in a little casket on the window ledge, as my OH said no way would he bury him in the garden. Probably a good job as a monsoon is currently trying to wash it away.


So I am now recovering from the same cough that killed the rabbit and an extremely large vets bill ( he had to go to the vets for medicine for about two weeks before his sad departure).


My son is inconsolable and even he managed to laugh at the thread. So I do not think it was insensitive if we could see the funny side, We read it together from start to finish and we were in stitches.


Thank you.

I hope you didnt have him put down because he wasnt a spring chicken. Chickens lay eggs, rabbits lay mini eggs.

his ashes are now in a little casket on the window ledge, as my OH said no way would he bury him in the garden.

Note: all ashes end up ina hoover bag as all fish end up in the toilet bowl. Get yourself a dustbuster as trying to retrieve grandma or fluffy from pubic hair, dead spiders and anything else in the dyson is a bu gger.

Do they have house rabbits in Pakistan?

So I am now recovering from the same cough that killed the rabbit and an extremely large vets bill ( he had to go to the vets for medicine for about two weeks before his sad departure).

Next time go to the GP not the Vet if you have a cough. I bet the vet charged you £45 plus VAT to stick a themometer up your backside.

The thread had you in stitches. Can you pinpoint which was the best bit?


Thank you.

In all seriousness, sorry about your loss. I went through the same thing the other week. The ashes are on the kitchen table awaiting burial. The last time I scattered ashes i got caught in a change of wind and the M&S cashmere never recovered. I can still hear the grit in the washing machine.

my friend martha lost her husband in her 40's . and the funeral guys brought his ashes round in a shoe box.. large feet shoes as well...

This was a very sad time and since no one in the family had done a cremation before they accepted the shoe box as the norm

Well they went to a couple of his favourite places and did some scattering, a little poem, some tears, but there were still about a kilogram of hubby left in the box... so a longer jaunt to a favourite holiday place was planned formore poetry, and a song and some more scattering

no one ever said - why dont you just scatter it all ? - dont ask me why

Everytime i went to visit the "shoe box" was still on top of the condiment cupboard in the kichen and i'd raise a querulous eyebrow and she would nod "yup still there"

Finally they dug him into the flower bed...

An aged auntie summed it up by saying "well this'll be the first time he ever did any gardening"

The shoe box disappeared ......

Me and my good lady friend - the Wifey having had prior engagement at the WI necessitating a last minute call up from me to the second division, should have been sailing down the Solent en route to FunBoys Sur La Plage today, courtesy of the buyers of Running Towers.

Was motoring down to Southampton when received a call from neighbours, gist of which was there's a strange bloke in your fish pond.

I was quick enough to snap him with my Kodak Brownie before he scarpered.
I'm fairly sure it's our buyer, Mr Jones.
For the life of me I can't imagine what he was up to but it looked rather as if he was emptying the lower pond and scooping up the fish into the upper pond.

I know he was showing an unhealthy interest in the ponds but I wonder if anyone else has experienced this with their buyers?

If Henpecked is around later, perhaps he might ID the chap as the Jones who wanted to bury his Great Dane in Henpecked's pond.
