He'd better hurry up. He's lost 124 droogs in the last year.

I'm going to keep bumping this thread with  indecent unconcern, because I've a couple of questions:

We lost pretty much all our war dogs in the last battle, I've assigned my dungeon master to train up some more; but there's a couple of adult stray dogs that apparently are ineligible for training. They are on the unit screen but he keeps reporting "no creature". Before anyone asks I am PRETTY sure they haven't attacked any dwarves, and so haven't "tasted blood".

I laid some coffins down for the heroic dead from the battle, using the partially-excavated Butinimous Coal vein as a burial chamber. Somewhat to my surprise two coffins got reserved for a couple of dwarves who'd died years before: a hunter who got kicked into a pond by a horse and whos body was never recovered (because of the "being in a pond" thing), and a peasant who got smashed by a falling ceiling and whos body has long since decayed in the graveyard. There can't be anything IN these coffins, but they read as "Final resting place of Urist McDrownvictim". What gives?

It's kind of a "in memory of" thing.  Like when my father-and-mother-in-law insisted on buying a grave and erecting a tombstone to my stepson, even though he was cremated according to his wishes and his ashes were scattered in his favorite forest by his widow.

That could really mess you up if you've been  letting dwarves decay in the graveyard for years, then decide to give some especially-liked dwarf a decent funeral.

Are they in a cage somewhere? I think you have to let them out first.

I've got some caged animals but I'm pretty sure no dogs.
