Yep. Had a secretary who had her yip yap dog mounted after it died. Perfectly believable if you ever knew her.

I have a friend that wants to mount his longhaired dachshund when she dies.
If you have the money I give not a single fûck.
But the whole "fur baby" "I'm their mom/dad" schtick is gross.
I love my dogs, and am more attached than I should be. But damn, it's repugnant to attach familial titles to pets. Same here. I wouldn’t spend 10k on a vet to save one. Love mine, but at the end of the day they’re C an animal.

Currently
Wife wants to get a resque dog from pound
May out live me......):
Buried three dogs I loved......
Last two in the back yard
Tough deal... I've buried all five of mine outside my bedroom window. If someone adds on to the house after I'm gone they'll probably call the cops with all the bones they'll find, lol.

My wife did a few early in her career (late 90's) but yeah to creepy. She refused when asked after that. We are big dog owners and she changed her mind real quick. Money wasn't worth it

I've heard of that being done but I think it's kinda creepy.
I knew a guy once who was convinced we'd be able to be revived after death through future advances in science if we only preserved our body so that it could be available for the "restoration." He planned to have his body frozen after death so that he could be revived through some future cryogenic technology yet to be discovered.
He's still alive as far as I know but his beloved Dalmatian's head is in the freezer. He wanted to enjoy that second life with his pal Spot. I don't know if he figured he'd have to wait a bit longer for the technology to regenerate Spot's body, but I guess he needed the extra freezer space.

This...true story
Had a Chocolate Lab...
Died on his own at around 14 YO
Had 'Jack' above Retriever at the same time..they were buds
Took the Lab to some high desert Cedar/Pinion country...buried him...deep
Six months later...Took wife & 'Jack' to gravesite
Damm
Jack started diggin at the Lab's grave site...... For anyone who thinks dogs don't know what is going on...  ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/qvvBC0JD/61547046-10215075181008345-7162262504754642944-n.jpg) This is how I found him for a about a week when I would come home from work. After that, he just slept by her fresh grave at night in the summer. One coyote that I know of, came too close during that time. It was ripped to shreds. Can someone quote this and show Tikka since he has me on ignore?

Don't do taxi stuff but have talked that subject with a few. Most won't until one throws ridiculous money. Most also say people are so familiar with their dogs that it's damn near impossible to produce an acceptable mount.

Roy Rogers did it to Bullet, and Trigger. I have a big old arthritic horse that happens to have a beautiful hide. He's always been a sonuvabitch(alpha) and I'd love to have him butchered and also rugged out. Is he branded? He would make a hell of a pair of chaps. Probably as nice as elk hide, and I really like elk hide chaps. Uncle had a pair made from an old bull with the brand right there on the front of his right thigh.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Too creepy for me. My vet put my last dog to sleep at 12 1/2 yrs. old. Some kind of anal tumors that would have killed her very slowly & painfully. I told the vet to let me know when it's time to do it. Had a pre-paid cremation deal and when the time came I was cradling her head in my arms when she peacefully went to sleep. Got the ashes now and I think I'll get cremated when my time comes and they can throw her ashes in with mine.

I don't think I could do that. Too creepy. I'd rather just remember my dogs the way they were alive. ^ this 100%. Dogs is family. I wouldnt stuff family either.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

We were watching one of those house shows or something and someone told had had a small house dog freeze dried. It looked life like, but Penny and I both thought it was pretty tacky.
I sure wouldn’t do it.
