"i love my pet so much, I want them to be with me forever, bereft of everything I loved about them"
I've never understood taxidermy. I keep some pictures of one of my dead cats in the wall/as a wallpaper on my phone, and it still is sometimes upsetting to see him and remember that he's gone.
For real. I have a plaster cast of my dog's paw print and that's enough. It seems morose. You wouldn't do that with a relative, right? "Sure am glad I got Grandpa stuffed and mounted here, next to the TV. It's like he's still with us"
Shit, now I want to be taxidermied after my death. I could actually haunt people
Hmm, I wonder if they'd put my hands so they could hold like beers or a shelf... I think I'd be a nice conversation piece.
