   "There are some unusual things at the house, namely Ms. Addams’s impressive collection of stuffed and mounted wildlife. Though dedicated to saving animals, incongruously, she (a model in her youth who then became a photographer of wild game) was an avid collector of taxidermied creatures. There is also the pet cemetery in the front yard—the final resting place of beloved pets Poppy, Willie, Liletee and Nudawg—the unlikely location where the couple held their wedding ceremony in 1980 and where it is rumored that Mr. Addams’s cremated remains are buried."
