Anyway, I need your advice.
What would you do if you went in your garden and found a dead pigeon? Would you throw him over the fence into your neighbour's or would you bury it? It's not as if it was a beloved pet, is it?
What if it was a dead fish? One of your fish is found floating on the surface of your pond dead. Would you throw him over the fence or bury him with the family standing all around?
What if it was one of your pets? A hamster, gerbil, rabbit or cat? Or even a cat that does not belong to you is found dead in your garden. What would you do?
Or what if it was your dog that died?
The reason I am asking this is because our horse has died and he is too heavy to lift over the six feet high fence.
He was one of a set of six I use when playing polo. Yesterday we played water polo and he drowned.
What do I do?
...Victor, you need to slow your mind down a bit!
ReplyDeleteIt's all true I tell you. Now I have a dead horse stuck half-way up a fence.
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
We have communal "green" refuse. That's where all our dead critters go. But a horse would have to be cut up to fit into the small green bags, we're supposed to use, so maybe putting it over the fence is the better part of wisdom after all.
ReplyDeleteYou make a good point, Charlotte. Over the fence is the best way.
DeleteGod bless you.
I may have more empathy for a deceased animal than I do some humans. So yes, I'd give it a nice burial in the back -- provided someone else would touch the remains. (lol)
ReplyDeleteThat would be a very big hole in which to bury a horse, Mevely. Usually, we flush a dead fish down the toilet. We tried with the horse but he was too heavy to carry indoors.
DeleteGod bless.
I'm just smiling at Mev's comment. I am worn out so I cannot dig for youl But To save all this trouble hindsight of course, you should have done mouth to horse resusgtation and saved youall this worry. BUT, but I also completely agree withTOM!
ReplyDeleteSherry & jack beat.....
I DID try mouth to horse resuscitation, Jack. But I nearly drowned myself under water.
DeleteHoping you and yours are keeping well. God bless always.
If you decide to throw the dead horse over the fence I suggest you first cut it into smaller parts to make it easier :)
ReplyDeleteYes, maybe you're right Ladka.
DeleteGod bless.
I guess you should starting digging, it will take awhile. :)
ReplyDeleteTrue, burying him will take a long while.
DeleteGod bless, Bill.
Victor, the scenarios your imagination kick up never cease to astound me. :) Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI am guessing you don't believe me, Martha.
DeleteGod bless you.
How about find out if you have a pet cemetery in your area, it would save you having to dig the hole, just pay for it to be buried there.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I not think of this?
DeleteGod bless, Mimi.
OMG that's sad. I'd say bury it but since it's a big heavy animal, of course you'll be needing help.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a lot of dogs that died but I never buried them myself. It's always my mom. It's just too heartbreaking.
Yes, I understand.
DeleteGod bless, Lux.
We always had pet funerals under an oak tree in our backyard. I remember youngest eulogizing, "He was a good fish."
ReplyDeleteIn your case though, definitely chuck that thing over the fence!
I am so glad you agree with me, Sandi. Chuck it over the fence. It is the Christian neighbourly thing to do.
DeleteKeep smiling. God bless.
