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.

Isn't that the plot from Pet Sematary? I guess it depends on the greeting.

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.

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.

No kidding. I had a male chow that I found dead in the yard, next to a dead snake. They took each other out! I felt some comfort in the fact that he died protecting his territory (chows were bred as imperial guard dogs). I wrapped my dog in white sheets and placed him inside an approx. 18" by 18" by 36" trunk.

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 have a Giant Schnauzer that likes to be buried at the beach. I'll look for a pic later.

What were you *really* looking for Bri????
