I was thinking of having my late pooch Dandy stuffed, but is it possible to have him made into a cuddly toy?
My daughter misses him so much and I though an extra "bed teddy" would help her get through the grieving process. Has anyone done or heard of anything similar?
Answers:
That made me giggle so much! I seriously hope it was meant to? It'll be all cold and stiff, and it'll probably be looking at you with it's tongue ready to snap off! Awww..
don't think you want to do that. he won't be like a teddy bear if you stuff him.
No, I've never heard of anything like that, and I would NOT advise doing it. Get your daughter a new puppy, and/or get her a stuffed dog, thats a toy and was not a real dog.
I personally feel that is a bit morbid, and your daughter may have nightmares. Perhaps find a stuffed toy dog. Or have a picture of him framed and put it on her nightstand instead.

You can have his remains incorporated into a teddy or a pillow.
Taxidermists are often reluctant do stuff family pets as the result is often not as the originals are remembered and customers are then disappointed.
Sorry, that is just WRONG! Doing that may be detrimental to her grieving process. Getting a new dog may help her to accept Dandy's passing better.
wow.

Alan Alda released a book recently entitled "Never have your dog stuffed"...click the link above to read about it. His father actually DID have their dog stuffed! This book is hilarious! But follow his advice, and NEVER have your dog stuffed!
im not sure if the effect on your daughter of having her beloved dead dog in her bed at night would be a positive one, its a cliche but time really is a healer, she will accept it in time, also surely time is a factor in these kind of issues, so whatever you decide do it fast or you wont have much to work with!
Never make an old dog into a stuffed toy have a funeral for him it's not human like to have a dog stuffed.
no i have 3 children lost my dog last weekend after 14yrs we have had him cremated and are going to scatter is ashes 2 mos i think they would be mortified if i had stuffed him is this a joke ? rescued a dog for them its helped the kids
ewwwwwww
Did you know (even though I realize your question is made up) that Build-A-Bear stores will fill a bear with your animal's ashes if you have it creamated? I saw it on the news. I don't think they advertise it, but when your dog really dies and you really have a kid, you can really do it if you have a store near you.
No offense, but i strongly disagree that you try to make it into a 'toy' because your daughter...er...it might make it worse that it used to be alive and now its dead.
Hope it helps! =-]
no, it is slightly sick, really! If you are serious, look for a good taxidermist who will do Dandy proud and give him some dignity
Don't see a problem with this just make sure there is 2 of you one to hold him they do tend to wriggle abit make sure you have plenty of air freshner.
