To puppy mills, dogs are just considered livestock a way to make a buck. To Peta they are just disposable. I believe that to most of us on this list, they are a big part of our lives, and that makes a huge difference, no matter how many dogs you have. I think that what we do with our dogs when they die has a lot to do with how we feel about death and an after life. I have had all of my dogs cremated. When I die I will also be cremated and they will be scattered on the mountain with me. Maybe we will wander these hills together forever, to me that would be heaven. I can't think of better company. Connie ************************************************************************************************* think some will cremate. Puppymills don't give a crap, so they will do the PETA thing. Some breeders bury their friends under a favorite tree or some other favorite spot looking out at Scenic beauty, and meditate and visit their friend. People who CANNOT deal with death, bring their friend to a Vet, and let the Animal Hospital dispose of their pet. Every one of my dogs that have died, have been cremated. When I die, I want them buried with me. ----- Original Message ---- From: D.G.Bonome <lexieshep@xxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 8, 2007 11:37:16 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] PETA Commercial ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
