Default Gardens and moving house


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



Well we have all had a think and it has been decided to do nowt, at the
moment. We will probably put a nice shrub over her then wait until someone
want`s to buy the house and decide then if we tell them or not, I expect I
will warn them but if the shrub is beautiful they wont want to move in
anyway, now then what shrub --- says she going off outside muttering :-)

Thanks to all, kate
