Pet Cemetary
By trina on February 20th, 2008Did you know that there are actual Pet Cemetaries? I had no clue. You can actually buy a plot of land, a casket and have a service for your pet. Or you can choose to have it cremated.
So, I was working out on Monday when I found myself listening in a very interesting conversation. It was about burying your pet vs. having it cremated. I remembered around Christmas time Joe had a post about the commercials for buying stuff for your pets, so I thought this would interest some of you.
One lady in the conversation decided not to have her pet buried because she doesn’t plan to live in Ohio the rest of her life. If she had her pet dog buried then she wouldn’t be able to take it with her. She had no plans to come back regularly and visit the grave. So, she had it cremated now she can take it with her when she moves. Another girl paid $400.00 to have her dog cremated. I do remember a gal in our church who had her cat stuffed and she kept it in the attack.
I naively asked the question, “Don’t people just bury their animals in the back yard anymore?” Well, I didn’t realize that would be so offensive. Now I know.
I think a good business to get into would be the funeral and cemetary business. You must be able to make a lot of dough. Well, I am going to rebel and ask to be cremated (Rick can burn me in the fire pit in the back yard) and throw my remains over the Smoky Mountains or some such place.
Trina!
Yeah you made it; I look forward to reading more of your posts;
BTW - We have a rodent cemetery in our backyard. All of Seth’s little friends who have passed into the great beyond.

Trina- interesting first foray into the blogosphere, but I’ll admit this kind of weird stuff obviously interests me- see my post that you mentioned. People get into the weirdest things like dressing up for comic book conventions or loving their pets more than they love people.
Without saying anymore on the whole issue of pets, I’m excited that as Christians we have some meaningful things to talk about like relationships and love.

there’s a pet cemetary out by twinsburg road in macedonia. I used to think it was the weirdest thing. Now I think having your pet stuffed is the weirdest thing you could do though. Although I’ve joked with my mom that we’re gonna have her stuffed and stringed up like a marionette.

Mike? Thats wierd. Anyway, Im glad you are into Blogging Trina. I love seeing what people are thinking about and experiencing. Thats a really odd thing. I love pets, other peoples pets anyway. I find most pets to be troublesome for me to maintain. Except fish, and even then I had to develop a microprocessor based system to maintain the chemicals in the water, but once that was done then it was nice to watch the fish and not worry about them.
I will prob be buried, and then when I get to Heaven think to myself “eww what a nasty body that was to be stuck in compared to this.”
Smokey Mountains! I hope not to many people thought about doing that. Actually come to think of it, it was quite dusty down there on our honeymoon.

Haha! I imagine Ryan and Jackie gazing upon the majestic beauty of the Smokey Mountains.
Then Ryan’s faced turns white with the horrific realization. “It’s people, the clouds and haze are PEOPLE!”

Well there are other options I hear. One lady had her cat freeze dried and it lays on the pillow in her bed. Wow, that’s sick!

I remember my first time on this website. My friend and I were looking for something totally new, something we haven’t read or heard about. We were so tired of college, and didn’t have too much time to go out. And we found this site, and now we come ever day to read some cool information or to discuss something with other people. It’s interesting to hear different points of view!
