Doc’s Pet Roll

by Kent on 01. Jul, 2006 in Life

Doc Searls is doing a series on the pets he has had in his life.

I think that is an really interesting idea, and even though he is only on pet number three, I have already noticed commonalities in our pet experiences- particularly the surreal experience of burying your first pet. We had a pet graveyard behind our house, where many dogs, cats, rabbits and ducks were buried. It was all good until I read Pet Cemetary. That book scared me in a big way- and I was in my 30′s when it came out.

I suspect that pet ownership and loss may be a universal experience that many of us share.

It’s good reading. I am going to read Doc’s series and then do something similar.

Pet Rolls- a good read and an interesting exercise.

Hey Doc- how about some photos to go along with the stories?

    Thanks for the follow-up. I was hoping somebody would pick up on the idea.The only reason I don’t have photos for pets 1 through 3 is that, well, I don’t have any. Some may exist somewhere, but right now we’re living out of suitcases in a house behind the house we won’t occupy for another month, and into the garage of which nearly all our belongings, including photographs, are crammed.I do have a picture for the next pet, though, and for a few more after that, I think. Not enough, though.I may have to go back and insert some when we move into the new plac e.

    Should do them as OPML files so they can be included in an umbrella directory, like so:http://sndirectory.worldoutline.com/Amyloo%27s%20community%20car%20roll/All%20the%20cars%20we%27ve%20ever%20owned/
