A friend of mine lost her dog when he ran away during a thunderstorm. After looking for him at shelters for a couple of days, her mother in law said she should get another dog right away to stop the pain. She did (I would not have). Two days later, her original pet was found safe and sound, only to come home to a new puppy that made her life miserable.

Ain't that the truth Richo 🙂

Meet Nefertiti one of Mick, predecessors

Mick is a Stone that has stopped rolling. He is the best pet ever, very self reliant, never makes a mess, non demanding, never needs to be fed or walked, never whinges he is as solid as a rock as far as friendship goes.

so, he gathers moss, eh?

Not only that. Everyone knows the feeling when a beloved pet shuffles of its mortal coil and the sadness and heartbreak that goes with it. Well Mick has solved that problem too, no hole in the ground for Mick. Mick also knows that his welfare will be intact even after I drop off my perch into the all consuming hole in the ground. 🙂

Stick Mick on top of your coffin and it'll make sure the lid stays shut

Nefertiti, as the name suggests, was the queen of the house, sleek, graceful, aloof and very very regal. She was also the last of her line and having known her no others could measure up so Mick was a compromise (but don't mention that fact to Mick) 🙂

Mick is a bit hard of hearing in any case 🙂 

I doubt that anyone would want to open my coffin to rob my remains:) No gold teeth here 🙂

But perhaps your suggestion is a good one, we could continue our relationship for eternity.
