Chatting to a mate in the pub and he plans to have his dog stuffed when it dies.... the dog (a terrier) is quite young and healthy at the moment.
I think this is deeply weird, he thinks it's quite normal. I think he's wrong, he thinks he's right. Normal impasse.
We have agreed that a poll is the only answer.

It is very weird and isn't something that we would do, we have the ashes of our first dog; Humphrey, in a box, in our lounge, people think that is weird.
Same here, we have the ashes of our old dog Lucy. some people get it others don't. We would however, never, consider having one stuffed!So said:
Same here! But anyway, having absolutely broken my heart on more than one occasion over pets I can't see how having a gutless, motionless carcass that used to be something you loved to bits sat in the living room looking at you through glass eyes is a good idea? Surely if it's sat there looking at you, you can't move on and get over it? It's a bit like having your nan stuffed and put in the corner...

How do you know the ashes you are given are actually your cremated pet?
You can have your pet cremated with other animals in a kind of mass cremation and you get back a portion of the total ashes, or you can have your pet cremated by itself and get back just its ashes. The mass cremation is a fair bit cheaper than a single cremation; Humphrey was done by himself.
