I wouldn't waste my energy even digging a hole, put them on an ant hill.

Dottie,
Apart from that method being slow, it would leave bones visible as evidence.
If you plant them in the back yard you can grow a garden over the spot, which has the dual benefits of hiding the freshly dug earth and providing abundant fertiliser.

And you can feel better about the person for providing nutrient for the vegies for yrs to come

Maybe Dottie's plan was not to kill them first, leave the ants to do the job .... if you tied them out with something edible, the ants would even clean that up .... then you could claim death by accident or natural causes ..... might work better tied in the foetal position so the skeleton looked like they might have been asleep

All my animals end up under a fruit tree, even the horses and luckily having a backhoe, the horses always get a god burial as well and the fruit trees grow extremely well. It all started with my stumpy tail dingo/kelpie cross, one day not long before he left life, we were walking in the bush slowly as he was slowly ebbing away. He usually ran everywhere and spent lots of time cruising the bush checking everything out in his domain, but over a few weeks he started to slow down and kept going to the one place in the bush. On this day he called me so went to see what he was up to and he was sitting beside a small plant which looked like a fruit tree, but didn't know what it was or how it got so far into the bush so dismissed it as a fruit tree and wondered what he was on about.

Over the next couple of days he got to the point where he stopped each time he got to the point where this little tree was and wouldn't go any further, turning round to go home and struggling back up the hill. If I tried to help he growled at me, so just walked along beside him. Then one day when coming back from Hobart, he couldn't get in the car so lifted him in and when we got home had to carry him inside as he didn't have the strength to get up the stairs. That night he came to the side of my bed and woke me whimpering, so got up and he flopped on the floor, so carried him to his bed and sat down beside him, he put his head on my lap, looked at me licked my hand and died. He was 17 going on 18, next day buried him, went into the bush dug up the tree and put it on his grave outside the front of the house, where he loved to lie and watch over the valley below him. The tree grew fast and the following year produced fruit, it was an apricot tree and now provides me with a large crop each two years.

It's always extremely sad when we lose those we love and I view my animals as my family, much more reliable and loving than the humans, as well as no ego or demands, just pure love and that to me puts them way above humans for reliability, dedication and love.

So my thought for the day is for all the wonderful animals of the world, who don't deserve to be treated they way they are by humans.

ESPECIALLY not Greyhounds!
The dog racing industry should be shut down immediately.

What a lot of people don't see is just how big Saic is, how big Geely is and how big BYD and Haval/GWM is, there aren't many auto makers they don't either own or have such a deep control over that they might as well own them .... and the others that believe they are in joint ventures with many of these companies .... right up until these companies find their joint venture has ended and now they have to make units better than the joint owned venture units, just to compete ......
Any country that thinks it can squeeze out the Chinese car manufacturers by adding tariffs, don't understand just how deeply the Chinese manufacturers control of their (home grown) companies, much like the US and Holden and Ford Australia was a few yrs back ... until the govt of the day woke up and realised they were just paying good tax $$ to the US ....

I have it on pretty good authority that the GM and Ford Tax being sent to the USA was the WW11 Lend Lease being paid off.
Once it was all paid up why keep those companies going, so they shut them down so they could not compete against their associated car companies that were doing business here in Aus .
After all, business is business !?
