Freeze dried pets?!?!

[Charade]

ABC just showed a report of a taxidermist that now freeze dries your pets. His business has increased 10 fold in the last year.

So what to you think?

Would you freeze dry Fido or Felix?

That lady with the cat was just plain weird.

Weren't they all ????

Umm, NO! When my babies die I'll cry, bury them and remember them through PICTURES!

 

[Lil_Tink]

Eww..

 

[Devil_Dog99]

How do you store them?? Or is it like the deep freeze place that Ted Williams was placed in (and that is a doggone shame if you ask me - his son was nuts). I hav eheard of people getting pets stuffed, but freeze dried??

Couldn't do it. Pets are family. You wouldn't freeze dry or stuff or otherwise store your parents, so why your pets??

Yeah ... all I could think of was Trudy Wiegel from the comedy central show, Reno 911, w/her dead, stuffed cat!!!!! Blech!!!!!

Well I've always said when my really huge main coone dies I'm having her made into a throw rug . Ds HATES when I say this, but Flynx just rolls over on her back and gives me the I'm sooo soft and lovely how can you not rub your toes on my belly look? Seriously, she is so vain she probably would like to be immortalized like that south american woman Madonna was in a movie about, what was her name? Lenin?

When my dog dies some day I'll have him cremated and keep his ashes. It would be too creepy to do otherwise.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

I'm watching that show now. I wouldn't do it.

 

[disneycutie84]

I watched this too! I kept looking at my cat imagining how weird it would be to do that to him when he eventually dies.
Eeek! Let the poor things rest.

Sad to say I know somebody who did this with her cat. She had it freeze dried and it was set curled into a ball in a wicker basket lined with some fleece that she kept on her coffee table. The first time I was at her hosue I thought the cat was sleeping in the basket, she actually asked if I'd like to pet it! I was reaching out as she began to tell me it was freeze dried--I pulled my hand back pretty darn quick.

Absolutely not! I have lost 2 precious companions in the past 2 years and would never consider something as drastic as this! I prefer to have them cremated and brought home .

 

[jekajekalynn]

Ok, this is awful, but did anyone else think of the parrot and the petstore sketch from Monty Python when they saw that?

I can't believe having a freeze-dried cat on your coffee table. I would love trying to explain that one to my DD who loves animals.

 

[MinnieFan4ever]

I thought the whole thing was just plain creepy!!!

 

[okeydokey]

Soooo creepy I think. I think displaying a nice photo of the pet in healthy days would be a good tribute. It also is expensive, I think he said $1000 for a 10 pound pet and $150 for each pound after that.

It was bizarre to say the least.

No, I would not do this.

However, I know a lady who had her dog cremated and then used the ashes to make a stepping stone as a memorial.

In craft stores they have kits to make stepping stones. She added the ashes to the mix and then she put a picture of the dog (in plastic) and some other stuff that belonged to the dog in the stone that way she can take the stone if she moves and will always have the dog with her. My sister is thinking about doing this for her dog. I don't think she really uses it to step on though just something in the garden.
