![]() Meet Sweetie. She was hit by a car and showed no signs of life. Her owner buried her in the back yard. But after a couple hours, she came to, dug her way out, and greeted her surprised owner. |

Sweetie's owner suddenly understood why the Pai Mei Obedience Class insisted on teaching each dog the three-inch punch technique.

Good one Polar, welcome to the Cellar.
It's fortunate for sweetie, her/his owner did a halfassed job of burying him/her. No shroud, not deep and not tamped down to prevent some animal from digging up the body.

With the help of a good friend, I dug a hole deep enough to get that trunk deep enough underground to prevent attracting the interest of other animals. This was made more difficult by the fact that about a foot down, the ground became solid clay which had to be hacked apart and picked out in chunks. At the conclusion of this hard labor, I looked at the hole we had dug and I realized this could have been done with one scoop of a back-hoe. Things like this make you realize the incredible labor-saving advances technology has provided for us.

I'm sure that Sweetie has some finer qualities, but that is one ugly-ass dog.

Is this thread from last year, or is there some sort of time warp going on?

If you go back into the achives, and add a post, it move to the head of the class. Polar has a way-back machine.

Holy Moly.
Look into those doggies eyes--that pup has PTSD. I hope his owner is prepared to pay for some therapy.

I think any rational person would wait for the body cool and stiffen? Well I would. I couldn't bear to part without knowing for sure. I would never bury a warm body no matter how disfigured. |
