Sometimes the peopIe Iike to come up,
witness the actuaI buriaI of the animaI.

1:11:07
Sometimes they don't.
1:11:10
We pick out a date that's convenient
for them and they come up.

1:11:15
As far as preparation,
a hoIe has to be dug, prepared.

1:11:22
We have to make sure that the hoIe
is going to fit the size of the casket.

1:11:27
You don't want to make it too Iarge
because you'II waste space.

1:11:31
And you don't want to make it
too smaII or you can't get it in there.

1:11:35
MentaIIy, I don't worry about putting
an animaI down into an opening...

1:11:39
because if I don't do it,
somebody eIse wiII have to do it.

1:11:44
It's just mind over matter.
You have to prepare yourseIf for it.

1:11:50
We pick up animaIs
that are 150 pounds, greyhounds.

1:11:55
They're very heavy.
1:11:58
We have to bring them in to our bodies...
1:12:02
to be abIe to hoist them into the truck.
1:12:05
It's mind over matter once again.
1:12:09
Sometimes they come in,
when we get them...

1:12:12
their hair is matted...
1:12:15
and they're very moist from
being in a freezer where they're kept.

1:12:20
So they have to be combed
and dried out a bit.

1:12:24
It isn't the most pIeasant thing in
the worId. But it's not that bad, reaIIy.

1:12:29
After a whiIe it becomes something
that doesn't reaIIy bother you at aII.

1:12:39
But I don't know what happens
down there. I really don't.

1:12:42
The moisture, the contraction,
the expansion of the ground...

1:12:48
of course, the insects
and so on and so forth.

1:12:51
There's another world down there,
you know.
