I'm not sure when my dog could go. She is old and losing it so it could be any day. She is my baby and I am attached to her like crazy and I'm scared of how I will react when the day comes so I'm trying to be prepared. I have considered getting her taxidermied I know it sounds creepy but I think cremation is creepier in my opinion. Should I do it?
Should I get my dog Taxidermied?

Losing a beloved pet is such a terrible torment. Being an animal lover my whole life, I have had the joy of many companions, which means I have also suffered the loss of many dear friends. I do not think it would be a suitable memorial for any of my loved ones to be preserved in this way for my own satisfaction. If cremation doesn't feel right, consider a proper burial in a true pet cemetary and purchase a beautiful tombstone to visit. Make a donation to a local animal shelter or Humane Society in your dogs name, or maybe a children's book on dealing with the loss of a pet to your local library. Follow your heart, and the decision will be the right one. Peace be with you.
Thank you so much u are so sweet. I am a huge animal lover as well. I always wanted a cat but I grew up around dogs and it has helped me overcome my fear of dogs that I had as a child. I plan to get many cats, dogs, and other pets in my life.
