The Never Ending Story

[anthony]

Peter bows his head in shame, as he shifts towards the beer fridge for more...

Peter's dog 'Snout' (pig dog) came up at sat beside him while their daughter Florence was torn between laughing and feeling sorry for her dad.

Her eyes then filled with tears of pride as she wondered silently for the millionth time what quirk of character had caused her parents to mortgage the farm to bring this noble breed, the Schwein-Hund, back from the edge of extinction.

All the whilst, Peter is dazed and confused, decided to perform some repairs on the roof whilst drunk, and sadly has fallen to his death. RIP Peter... the family...

 

[Nicolette]

Well, the family think in honor of Peter's alcoholism that they should celebrate him in his own style so on to the drunken wake.... or was that drunken state? :sneaky:

 

[anni]

In the middle of the wake, a terrific thunderstorm whips up out of nowhere. There's a clap of thunder, the lights go out, when they come back on Judy screams, " The casket is empty!"......

 

[KP the nut]

The search is now on, where the hell is Peter. Suddenly they see him, Snout (pig dog) had been pining since the demise of his master and had with unknown strength dragged the body out of the casket. Snout was taking Peter to................

 

[cherryblossom]

Snout was trying to take Peter truffle searching. Snout loves this pursuit because Peter always gives him great rewards when he finds a truffle. Truffle searching without Peter is pointless. So off snout runs with (dead) Peter in tow. All the drunken funeral party try to chase snout (and Peter).

 

[anthony]

Snout grows tired and slows, and must let Peter go to rest. The drunken funeral party place Peter back in his coffin and bury him immediately so Snout can no longer drag him truffle searching. Ken, Peter's friend from the city, packs down the grave, returning to the house....

Unfortunately they had forgotten about Shoveler, a crazy Bloodhound they kept at the back of the farm well away from most things.

He was excellent at sniffing out anything you had lost, lambs, calves, even the odd chicken that has strayed, but was also notorious at digging. He had sniffed out his master and was now desperately digging him up again.

... and everyone goes to bed exhausted. The next day, Judy and Ken and the daughter get up feeling sad, but relieved that the horrible day is behind them. They pile into Ken's blue pick-up and head into town to buy some sheep paint. They are talking and laughing (and not missing poor old Peter at all) when they round a corner and see...

 

[anthony]

"OMG", Ken says... "Is that Peter's corpse laying on the road?" Ken quickly stops the car, boots Judy out of the car and takes off for the city, leaving Judy on the side of the road with Peter's corpse.
