My dog's getting on a bit in years, so she may kick the bucket in the not-overly-distant future.
Want a shot stuffing her when she does? | |

Good thread. Where do you keep them once they're finished? | |

Want a shot stuffing her when she does? | If that was a serious offer, and I was anything more than a novice......I'd jump at the chance. Quote:

They were both completely unfussed. Clio sniffed them a wee bit then walked away, Babes just sat where she was

I have no idea when she's gonna die, but she's 14 at the moment, so it won't be years down the line. There may be objections from my family, and I'm not sure exactly what I'd do with her afterwards, but in principle, I have no issue with you stuffing my dog. | |

I'd sooner kill myself, than define myself as 'normal'

You could at least give it a go.
...either one is fine.

Even just the suggestion, as fleeting as it may be that you might hand her over to me.......well, it's an honour. But I will say that if my work isn't up to scratch should that offer still stand at a later date, I'd decline. I certainly wouldn't want to take someones pet on if I'm still at practicing levels, y'know? I wouldn't want to make an arse of something that was so special to some folk...if that makes sense.
