gnu Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I accidently ran across this website and found it a little disturbing... http://www.perpetualpet.net/index.html "Freeze-dry pet preservation creates a lasting memorial and more importantly, preserves your pet in a natural state thereafter, without any alteration in appearance. This allows pet owners to see, touch and hold their pets, and in a sense, "never have to let go." Best of all, freeze-dry pet preservation results in the preservation of your pet's actual, physical body. This is in sharp contrast to the conventional method of taxidermy, in which only the outer hide of the animal typically remains, attached to a plastic form or other type of artificial mounting." and "The animal is carefully prepared and posed, supported by a custom made framework. It is then placed into a sealed vacuum chamber at extremely low temperature. Over time, frozen moisture is slowly converted into a gaseous state, and then extracted. The larger the subject, the greater the amount of moisture to be extracted. Typically, a small cat or dog will take 10 to 12 weeks. Larger pets will take a longer period of time, perhaps as much as 6 months in the case of a very large dog. However, all pets are unique, and sometimes take a bit more or less time than expected." Wow! This is just as I remember "Cisco"...always chillin' and listening to his Ipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 This is so outragiously funny, speechless. Humans will be next. Norman Bates should have stuck it out longer and saved time and work on his mom. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnu Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 i feel sad for symba...The only thing is, my other 2 cats know its Snuffy, but they just can't understand why he doesn't move. Itsreally pretty funny. My girl cat "Symba" can't understand how Snuffy came back. She just keeps creeping upon him to see if he's going to swat her like he used too.

RedScare Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I think the world of my dog, but this is disgusting! Why not freeze dry Gramps, too? You could prop him up in the LazyBoy, with Cujo curled up at his feet. Then, you could talk to him, discussing deep matters, such as, "Gramps, how come none of my friends come over to visit anymore?"

Original Timmy Chan's Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 If I start now, I could make my own life-size version of "Dogs Playing Poker" by the end of my own life! This is the coolest thing EVER!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I love pets too but this is madness. Just buy a pinata and talk to it. A Sponge Bob or Hello Kitty would be nice. Ready for the funny farm put me next to the guys in the cow outfit that ate free at Chic fil a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 this was haunting me this afternoon, so i had to go back and read more my favorite quotes: Even from a distance of a mere couple of feet or so, it will be difficult to tell any difference at all, save the lack of movement. If not subjected to subsequent damage (dirt, spills, stains, weather, mistreatment, etc.) there should be no further change or deterioration. With a little care, your pet can be held, carried, transported, and even gently petted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo58 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 In fact it wouldn't surprise me if after your take home your freeze dried pet they attach a sound box. Just press on the paw and you get a meow or a ruff! Sort of like ring tones? Take it for walks? Attach little wheels to the bottoms of the footsies and roll away. Even put one of those little funnels on the pup. You could still walk to a fire hydrant or tree. Take to family reunions, have portraits made. If it help's the illusion then why not? Place on a rocking chair by the window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
