10 Weirdest Ways to Remember Your Pet

All I have is claw clippings from my beloved Shepherd, 1 of the last times I cut her nails. Hair gets lost too easily. I still have 18-year-old nails in a box.

Otherwise, by far what I’d do is get a portrait. I already made some myself as is, pencil drawings. Currently hangs in my son’s bathroom.

MY PAL FOOT FOOT PING!

2. Rock Out With Their Record

Whether you named your pet after a musician or “How Much Is That Doggie In The Window” makes you think of your beloved critter, sometimes music is one of the best ways to remember your lost loved one. That’s why And Vinyl presses ashes into vinyl records for you to listen to forever after. You can either use your favorite song or have the company write a track specifically for you and your pet. The company will even paint a portrait of your pet using its ashes and include that as the album’s cover art.

Didn't Jim Morrison get his start this way?

7. Create Jewelry From Their Nose

That takes the game of "I've got your nose" to a whole new level.

We have one of those canister-type vacuums and I run it once a week. I have to empty the thing EVERY time cuz it's FULL when I do. Sometimes I think there has to be another cat in there!

Reminds me of the old joke about the kid seeing the dust bunnies under his bed. He runs to his mother saying that he remembers that ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and someone under the bed is either coming or going.

LOL!

We look fondly on all the teething marks left by our last dog. The new one has also left his mark on other places.

We have 3 former pets buried on our land. For the one who died in a cold winter, my husband laid down some metal sheeting, built a charcoal fire on it and covered it with more metal. This thawed the ground enough for him to dig a grave while the pooch laid in state in one of our outbuildings. His dog buddy insisted on visiting daily for about 3 days, nosing his dead friend to try waking him up.

I like the nose print pendants. My husband was a metal worker and I think we could get a mold print off the current guy.

As to spinning dog fur: it takes several year’s worth of sheddings to get enough to spin. It is very fine with coarse guard hairs mixed in, and is probably best if mixed with some wool. Many breeds’ hair will continue forever to smell doggy when wet.

I’m just please that no one has posted the lemon grass dog recipe, nor made any snide references to our dog-eating occupier of the White House.

We have 2 and 2, too. Isn’t it ironic that the shorthairs who don’t need the extensive grooming absolutely adore it, and the longhairs are, well, otherwise inclined? Our shorthaired and longhaired dogs were like that, too. Probably because the snarls and matting make it not a fun experience.

Black Blade by BOC or Bytor and the Snow Dog come to mind... ;-)

The original concept was actually called THOR I believe. From the 60’s.

Cue “In the Hall of the Mountain King.”

Grieg or Savatage?

[dfwgator]

The ‘Oo did a pretty good version.

Grieg. Must be Norse, of course.

I had my lab Pepper cremated and decided I did not want ashes as I wouldn’t know if they were really her ashes, but they made a foot print of her on a plaque with her name and date of death. The foot print in plaster of paris even had the small amount of dirt that dogs collect from their paws when outside. I just had surgery and my daughter took her and witnessed it was my girls footprint...I didn’t know that would be done and I love that plaque...

[Responsibility2nd]

The whole damn list is too creepy. I don’t know what creeps me out the most; This idiotic list full of creepy/goofy things to do, or the numbers of FReepers who actually think this shizzit is serious normal stuff.

“Create Jewelry from their nose”? Seriously?? Come on people! You have to realize you are being played here, right? THIS IS SATIRE.

If you do any of these things - SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP!
