Doc’s Pet Roll

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?

    Should do them as OPML files so they can be included in an umbrella directory, like so:

    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.
