The joke about the mother-in-law dying as a result of shock that the
dog died reminded me of a (supposedly true) story Johnny Carson told a
couple of years ago:

Two celebrities who had just met set up a date. The guy goes over to pick
up the girl, and she's still dressing, so tells him to make himself at
home. He picks up a ball, and starts playing with her pooch, tossing the
ball, and having the dog retrieve it. It's a warm summer night, and she
has the balcony door open, and one toss of the ball goes over the edge,
the dog following. He is shocked because she lives some ungodly number of
stories up, and breaks the news to her with the line:

"You know, your dog looked pretty depressed this evening."
