No, Mozza, I didn't mean to imply the cat had been buried alive. Just thinking how respectful my daughter was with her two dogs. They were family. People are weird at times aren't they.
Friends of mine buried their old dog in the garden, in her favourite spot, a sunny patch by the fence. Some months later they were sitting in the garden having tea when their new dog comes trotting round the corner of the house with an object in it's mouth, which it was reluctant to give up. The ensuing chase revealed excavations in a sunny patch by the fence and the 'object' to be a paw.
In my early gardening years, I decided a small tree would be nice just adjacent to the conservatory. I went to a renowned garden centre several miles away to make sure I got the right thing. The label said small tree , slow grower to about 14 ft. I thought perfect, a White Poplar ! I thought poplars were great big things, but there it was in black and white - 14ft. About three years later, when it got to about 25 ft, I decided to look it up in the RHS Encyclopaedia. There it was - grows to over 100 ft. Out with the axe !!!
I did some research and found it was possible to plant sugar snap peas in a grow bag. I planted about 10 plants in one and set up a net for them to grow up. Imagine my embarrassment when my father-in-law asked why I had planted 10 red cabbages in a grow bag I'd got my labels muddled, I hadn't grown peas before and didn't recognise the seedlings. In hindsight, I had grown sweet peas and really should have figured it out!

Hi Tina,
I don't think they buried it alive,I'm sure it had died. They probably thought that was the best way to bury things.
Thank god they don't run a graveyard huh!

Yes you're right, I had just moved over to England with my job, from Kenya and it did make me wonder about the place !

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Me too, maybe it's my age but I don't understand the 'ping' thing. Can anyone enlighten?
