The one with real comic flair in our family is my lovely older sister, Rannie. Having rung for a holiday catch up with her on Tuesday night, we ended up remembering some of the family pets and this trip down memory lane eventually led to my sister recounting the visit to the pet cemetary when one of the dogs 'shuffled off its mortal coil'.This is probably going to add more grist to the mill for those who think Americans are really bonkers, but here we go.... Mom and my sister took the body up to the local pet cemetary for cremation. From the retelling, I get the impression that the place was very serene and somber, with everyone speaking in hushed voices, fancy caskets appeared on gurneys, etc. Very serious, and very much in the style of a human funeral director's place. Unfortunately, sober calls to services coming over the sound system didn't help promote the mood..."The service for Peanuts O'Flarherty will be taking place in Suite 2""Will the family of Kujo Leibowitz please gather in Suite 3"Fereday and I are convinced we're going to hell for laughing at this... even this morning he mentioned that we should really have a moment of silence in memory of Peanuts O'Flarherty... to which I laughed so hard I nearly rolled off the bed!
