No, I think it's creepy and would just make me miss the pet more to have its "empty shell" there. And what in the world would the other animals in the house think? They can take the loss of a companion hard too, and I think that would just confuse them and stress them out. I've got lots of photos and that will do just fine.
I couldn't do it. We can't even keep remains in an urn, because we've had so many animals that we would run out of shelf space.
I've seen the comfort that it provides some people. But if I were going to do it - I'd get the best in the business. I would want my babies to look natural.
Now it might look exactly like my dog and I'd so want to go and hug him, but I'd have to say also too creepy for me. Hard and cold is just not my thing. I'd prefer to think he's there in spirit.
I would cry every time I looked at what had become of my precious baby.
Might give comfort to some, but not to me. What next, stuffed people?
