Obit quote du jour

Dick King-Smith, author of "Babe," among other things, died yesterday. His obituary contained this wonderful sentence:

It became home to cattle, pigs, goats, hens, ducks and a succession of dogs, the most extraordinary of which was Susie, who managed to survive repeated brushes with death until she was finally killed by the Paddington to Fishguard express.

Susie deserves her own obituary, clearly.
