"Butch" the Doberman Pinscher
Quite awhile ago, I watched a program about the modern mummification of beloved pets. I was astonished at how popular this now is, and just how much people will spend on it! It is possible to get a "mummiform" for your deceased pet of up to 128, 000 dollars! You can choose finishes of Marble patina, Gold leaf, Bronze patina and polished bronze... The process of modern mummification takes 5-10 months to complete and in preparation for this, the owner needs to:
Prepare the Animal
- Obtain a watertight container such as a cooler large enough to hold your pet lying on a bed of ice.
- If the animal is dirty, please wash and clean him.
- Place your pet in a plastic bag.
- Fill the container with as much ice as possible but leave enough room so that you can place your pet on top of the ice. Do not use dry ice.
- Place a towel on top of the ice and lay your pet on top of the towel. Then cover your pet with another towel.
- Close the container securely.
after this you then have to prepare your pet for transportation... and wait for the "eternal memorializaton" of your beloved companion to return to you.
I think this might have been part of the program I watched:
Honestly, my two pence are that some people just have way too much money.
