My bf keeps saying he wants to get Buddha stuffed when he goes, but I strongly vote NO on that one! Has anyone else read Alan Alda's book "Never Have Your Dog Stuffed"? His story alone is enough for me to never want to stuff any animal.

We have spots in the back corners of our yard where beloved pets have been buried.
Are you sure he'd like that?Originally Posted by arcadian girl
when Wonton passes (hopefully not for a LONG time) i'll have him cremated and maybe sprinkle his ashes in the pacific ocean.
That's one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard of. I had never thought about that, but I will now.Originally Posted by DixieDarlin256
I actually thought about having Oreo (RB) stuffed and buried with me if/when I pass.. But my mom talked me out of it and I creamated her instead. She is sitting in the top of my mom's closet waiting for when/if I do go she will be put in with me.. I have it in my will.... Talk about a crazy cat lady!
That's really cute! (For the sentiment, not the actual idea, of course).Originally Posted by Anakat

Just to hijack the thread a little, when our eldest Granddaughter was about six, she said that when I died she was going to have me stuffed and have my house as a Grandma museum
Such restraint - we keep all of the whiskers we find.Originally Posted by rosiemac
I couldn't but i'd keep a lock of their fur, plus i have their first whisker and claw sheath that i first found when they were little
I think i would have their ashes put with me when i go though.
I vote with a "gentle" no.Originally Posted by CommonOddity042
Bf and I were just discussing this. I voted no, as it would feel very awkward to see your pet who was once bouncy and...well...alive frozen forever in a weird little pose.
He voted yes, as he thought it'd be cool to have a "sleeping" pet in the window.
What is your opinion on this?
