Oliver,

That video brought back a lot of emotions.

In all three places I have lived, there are pets buried in the back garden.

Some pets where mine, when I was a kid, and the others where family pets, that my wife and kids have brought in our life.

I look back now, at all to joy, each one had brought into our lifes.

I know where each one is buried, as I had the task of being grave digger.

A friend just had his German Sheperd female pass away, and it is buried in the front yard, of his home, next to it's mother. I know he misses her.

Thanks for a great film, and putting some humour into a difficult subject.

Thanks Sam,

Our dog Niko is buried at my parents house along with around 10 cats. My parents literally have their own pet cemetery.

I hear you.

Our present backyard has a number of pets in it as well, and I have to remind my wife of where they are all buried, so she does not disturb them, when she is digging deep, during gardening.

No grave stones, just markers.

my Best Dog's ashes are scattered at one of our favorite places in the mountains, where you can sit quietly on a bench built of rocks, after a quick vertical mile, and look out over the city, a favored activity for the two of us...

glad you got this posted, Oliver, it's definitely a unique ANIMAL KINGDOM...

a horse? really?

Oliver Pahlow · November 6th, 2009, 10:59 AM

Thanks Meryem. Why yes, it's a horse of course.

An interesting take on the theme, and well executed. I've come across small private pet cemetaries with maybe half a dozen headstones, but the scale of that is amazing.
