Titan was digging and found this!!!

Chris_Heilong

Titan was digging for treasure out my back garden when he hit paydirt, I could not believe it when my wife told me Titan was running around with a Skull in is mouth, I got worried and was thinking "what if a cat was in the garden and my dog killed it" I told my wife to take the dog in and wait until I got home so I can get a good look at it, It was a dogs skull, a collie at best guess and was buried by previous owners of my house, no idea how long it had been there but just goes to show a Malamutes nose is not something to be sniffed at.

I should have waited until after breakfast to read this post! Seriously though, that's an awfully impressive find, you must have had one very self-satisfied doggie.

Let's hope he doesn't dig up the rest of the body. We would be having picture instalments each day.

I would have puked and/or fainted! Gross!!! If he's disturbed the burial ground you may get polterdogs lol! Watch out for him staring into the fuzz on the TV!!

It must be the day for it ... I caught jazz rolling in a dog skeleton in the field today :eek:

Really Yeuch, and made me feel pretty awful as some family are probably missing their pet and have no idea what happened to it

Thats terrible, the body was just lying there?

would it be weird to have your dog's skull cleaned and preserved? sandblasted or whatever?

I've thought of doing it, and maybe having them bronzed. The problem is that I can't decide if it'd be 'a bit' creepy or 'Back away slowly and call the police' creepy.

LOL, it might work for me with my terrierors, but can you imagine if someone kept Danes! There'd be no room!

If I did get them stuffed I'd have to have Rani posed on her back. She likes to sleep like that, and I could use her as a doorstop

Sometimes I wonder what I am going to do when the time comes.

At the family home the folks have a big garden and over the years all the family pets have been buried there. The thing is my folks are elderly and when the time comes there is a chance the family home won't stay with us. So I wonder what will happen to all the burials in the garden? And should I take a chance to bury my dogs in the garden too? It's the easy and cheap option. (I live in town and my garden is too small.)

After seeing those photos I think the only option for me is cremation. There is a beautiful walk I take the dogs on, through the woods and beside a lake. I'll spread the ashes there and in the future when we go for a walk at least I know my dog is in a nice place and I'll remember him everytime we are there.

Those photos have put me right off burial.

We buried my grand-uncles beautiful setter 'Sonny' around '91 or '92. Around 2000 we were having the grounds cleared and his bones were brought up (mother wasn't aware of where he was buried and I wasn't present on the day). Luckily I arrived just after and brought up the rest of his bones and brought them out to a mate's farm and re-buried him. The least I could do, he was my grand-uncles best mate for years. We had only moved into the local just before he died so never really got to bond with the dog but I felt it was only right to re-bury him. From stories we've been told he was some dog. Funnily enough I went into archaeology afterwards.

Hmmm,
a BRACHYLOPHOSAURUS from the late Cretaceous period (75 million years ago) if I'm not mistaken :rolleyes:
