Default Gardens and moving house


snip
and should I tell peeps that our old pet dog is buried in a shady
corner.



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Maybe at completion, leave tham a note!

Telling a visiting punter may put them off!

pk



After we bought our previous house the neighbour mentioned
that the previous occupant had buried their dead cat
somewhere around where I was digging ground to make a veg
plot. Sure enough it wasn't long before a cat skull was
grinning at me. I put it in the dustbin - not sure what you
are supposed to do with pet skeletons when reclaiming every
diggable inch of a small garden. I certainly wouldn't want
to keep finding it every time I lifted potatoes!

I doubt mention of said animal would have put us off buying
the house, but it would probably put some people off.

Many thanks to all, comments very helpful.
The only one in doubt is our ex pet dog, she died about 3 years ago and
buried about 2ft, deep, maybe I plant a beautiful shrub over her and they
wont want to move it anyway . Actually the whole conversation is rather
funny cos our neighbours are funeral directors complete with chapel of rest
:-) Also we had our big horse cremated when he was put down, he is now in a
very nice box in the corner of the lounge. Our friend and farrier who is
psychic reckons that we wont plant him, the horse not the farrier, until we
settle somewhere, I`ll get me coat :-)
