Freeze dried pets!

[Catherine]

The idea of seeing a beloved pet freeze dried is really disturbing. You are right, pictures capture a moment and we can connect to that moment through the picture.  A statue would draw life from the artist and be a life filled representation of a pet. It wouldn't be the pet, but it would have captured some of what made the pet special.

Taxidermy and freeze drying just preserve, in a strange way, the body of a pet. Nothing of the spirit is retained.
I hope I never see a freeze dried pet ever.
