Garden full of deal animals and bins of dog poo!

Actually, I've had two different households saying that they've been aware of their pet dogs being there "visiting" them after they died sometimes and one person who said that is an atheist, but stated he knew when his pet dog was there visiting him, as he could feel her sitting by his side sometimes like she used to do (the non-atheist in that household has seen the dog standing a couple of feet away from her).

In my case it was a good 18 months before someone from the council came to inspect the horse burials, and maybe another year before I met the man who performed them. Others just about choked on their beer recalling how he had carefully dug a 6' pit, only to find on filling it that there were still a couple of legs in the air......

I'm sorry, I actually laughed out loud at this!! Does this make me a bad person?

Me too, had visions of a lovely lawn with 4 rigid horses' hooves stuck out by a couple of feet!

Not at all. I expect many a pint has been bought on the back of that story by now. Everyone seems to know it.

We don't really do 'lawns' in this very rural area.

However, the gentleman with the digger has recently plastered a few rooms here, so I was careful to check there weren't any beetle or spider legs protruding. He seemed to get a pretty good finish, so the incident in the field was a probably just a one-off.

Could have made a nice garden table!

be very careful cleaning up in case of Toxoplasmosis as the origin of the matter is unknown. it's rather gross to think about. i would be concerned if you intended growing veg there unless the bloke with a digger came by.

Not only that, but she saved all the poo, put it in metal bins and buried them.

That has got to be one of the strangest things I've ever heard, burying dead pets, fair enough, burying sealed containers of poo though :eek:
Why? why would anyone do that?

I hate to admit it, but we've buried three of our labradors in the garden; I drew the line at burying my horses there, as I would have needed a huge excavator to make a large enough hole (no mean feat to actually bury a horse, as Dave has shown!) I believe Roy Rogers actually had Trigger stuffed; rather a bizarre concept!!:p

Nowadays, I'd probably have the dogs cremated and then put in a casket, as my husband's back would probably not allow him to dig a deep enough hole.

I can't imagine why anyone would bury their dogs' poo though? :eek:
