h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's amazing we still love our pets afterwards:

My mother's dog threw up on her oriental rug, a stain that went unnoticed for several days.

My father's cat fell in a bucket of blue paint and ran all over the house, including on his first edition "Stoddard Lectures".

My dog chewwed a 120 year old Buda statue, a quilt, and several first edition comic books.

My aunt's dog rolled in fireplace ashed and then jumped all over her white furniture.

i have a cat its not as bad i climbed up the wall paper though
and i climbed into the airvent...
it toulk us ages to pick hir out

Anthea

My other aunt and oncle have this huge dog named Bear that rammed into things, breaking chairs and small tables.

that dosent sound good

Most of these pets have past on. When my parents were putting an addition on the house, a digger came across my pet cemetery.

?

It's a piece of foundation digging equipment, and the cemetary was mostly fish and hampsters.

oh that dosent sound very good

Especially because I had more then fifty fish buried in the area, in tiny boxes, with tiny pieces of slate or shells or drift wood as markers.

that is terable

I could have been worse. They might have turned up grandma.



Just kidding!

thank goodness for that.........

They did turn up some turn-of-the century bottles, one whiskey, the other asprin.

who birred them....

Probably they were from the original builders, as the house is nearly a hundred years old itself.

my house is modern but my grans house is around 127 years old

Stone, wood, or brick?

sand stone

Sounds lovely. My aunt used to have an old Victorian in West Orange. It was always so cold, and all the doors jambed.

oh well its not that bad
its a bit cold though
