| I think that is morbid but if it makes someone else happy then more power to them

| Torn on this subject... One side of me thinks it would be nice to have it to honour them by.... But the other side feels it's quite morbid and can't get the thought of Norman Bates, from that show 'Bates Motel' out of my head when he stuffs that dog that got hit by a car....

| I think that would freak me out and just make me cry more every time I saw it.

| Yikes! There used to be a show on Animal Planet about this. I couldn't stand to watch it. I would be creepy to me to have stuffed dead animal skins of animals I've loved in the house. Pictures and my memory will keep each of them alive to me after they're gone. But if someone takes some comfort from it, that's their business.

| But it's not them that would be close, but only their remaining skin and hair that was removed from their dead little body with artificial eyes and all of it placed over a plastic form. The very thought of that process of removing the skin and hair being from my poor dead Yorkie's body is just ghastly to me. I'd forever be thinking of that when I saw the statue!

| I think I'd rather remember the happy times with my pet. I'd rather remember my pet(s) as they were when they were alive and well.

| So Sad ewwh not for me personally,But I could see some people doing this just to have there precious pet near them. I guess to each there own but that would totally freak me out to have my precious Luci stuffed sittng there watching me. I say let them rest in peace even though it is only a shell of their precious pet. Anne/Luci |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | This doesn't make me go 'ew'...I kind of get it, but don't know that I'd ever do it bc I'd worry that I'd regret doing it. My Marcel is the MOST cuddly animal I've ever come across in my life - and I love it so much. When I think of him passing, I can't stand the thought of not being able to touch him and cuddle him...so there is a part of me that can understand wanting to keep something touchable around...even though it's not really "them"/their spirit. Part of me would love to be able to still touch his little body...at the same time, I can see feeling heartbroken that his little body isn't alive. Interesting subject...be interesting to hear from someone who has actually done it to ask why and how they feel about it.

I could not ever even consider stuffing my handsome boys. Chuck and I HAVE discussed stuffing him, however, so the boys can still snuggle with him after he's gone. (Lol) | |
