Pet Prodigy
What is it about having a pet that makes us seem to always be a bit more happier and more cheerful than persons who do not own one? Is it the fact that we can come home to a different species other than a human being who does not nag, stress or query us but only greets us with love and understanding of our current moods and emotions? Well, before i actually dig into preserving your dead pet i will explain to you the bond between a pet and its owner. Many people may read this explanation and think that it is far fetched, fantasy or science fiction, but until you experience the power of pet and owner you will not truly understand.

The  Bond
There are certain types of pets that create a deeper bond with us than others. After owning several pets myself, (cat, dog, fish, bird and hamster) i can unbiased say that cats and dogs form a deeper bond with their owners than any other animals owned. Cats are runner up to Dogs as dogs express much deeper feelings and emotions within themselves and towards others. Dogs are filled with so much emotions it would be inhumane to say that these animals are soulless. I do believe that there are some animals which are quite conscious about themselves, their surroundings and very consolable when it comes on to the human family which they have become so attached to. Sometimes your pets actually sense you direct emotions and they try to cheer you up. My dog would sense that i am down and he would begin to rub all over me with his head and jumping around and licking me just trying to cheer me up. If i am ill he senses that also and knows that i may not be able to play so he goes into a different type of emotional support, he just lies at my bedside, guards me and mope. With friends like a good dog, when the pass away, we tend to try and preserve whatever memories we have left of them. Here are a few ways you can preserve your pet memories, or even your pet if desired.


1. Mummify Your Pet (Extreme)
According to Wikipedia.org, Mummification is a process in which the skin and flesh of a corpse can be preserved. The process can occur either naturally, or it can be intentional. If it occurs naturally, it is the result of cold (as can be found in a glacier), acid (as can be found in a bog) or dryness. It is rarely, probably not practiced in first world countries the mummification of humans. Many people may see mummification as scary and inhumane, but different cultures think differently. The Egyptians were brilliant people and normally mummified persons of great status that and high importance and meanings. Animals are mummified much more consistently, whether it be for biological factors, pet lovers love for his pet or just the evil things man and his hunting innocent animals for sport brings. Mummification will most likely be the closest you will come to preserving your favorite dead pet. Don't think return of the mummies when we speak about mummification, there is no dirty wrapped bandages or rotting corpse, just a still beautiful preserved image of the love that transcended from your pet to you and vice verse.


2. Preserve your Pet with Video Memories
Videos can last a lifetime and are quite fun to watch, laugh and relive some great memories of the past. Just like how you would video your child on his/her early years up until now. From the taking of baby steps to saying mama to now saying mom i can't do the dishes! Use the same principle with your wonderful pet. Video all the stages that you notice your pet enters. Video all the moods, the playfulness and all the growth stages of your pet. Record many of those wacky and fun moments that you have spent playing with your pet. Videoing your pet is an absolute cool way to preserve your dead pet.


3. Take lots of Photos

Do you have a cellphone with good pixel ratings or a good digital camera, preserve the memories of your pet by taking high resolution quality shots. A single photo can say a million words, and your pet deserves more than a million words. Quality photos taken can capture awe sporadic moments in the blink of an eye. Whether it be you pet hugging his toy and falling asleep or just expressing an emotion.


4. Murals and Artistic Paintings

Murals. You can preserve the memories of your dead pet by creating murals with his/her image. A great place to have a mural of your pet is on someplace on your car like the door or trunk. Murals are great as there are endless combination of expressions which come to one to depict the truthfulness and life that your pet enjoyed while it was happily living with you.
Paintings. Nothing actually captures the true essence and spirit of a living thing than a good artist who has painted a miracle. A good painting can capture a lifetime of memories and also helps to preserve the richness of life in the image of your pet. Different types of art have a different feel and look. The emotion or concept you want to give forth will looks better in one genre than another. The same image as a watercolor, as an oil, as a lithograph or as a photograph all look very different.

5. Tattoo Your Pets Image
Tattoo is another great way to preserve your dead pet. Yes, tattooing is just another way to capture an image of a concept or object, but it is actually more personal. To have a tattoo of anything on your skin actually depicts what you stand for, what you are about and what you may find fascinating or just plain love. It is a great way to have the memory of your pet with you anywhere you go as it will be apart of you.

6. Mugshots and Trinkets

Mugshots and other ceramics with pictures of your pet is a good idea to preserve you favorite dead pets memories. Have your pets photo be placed on your favorite mug or on some decent fine china that is rarely used. You can also create trinkets with images or forming a silhouette of your pet with its name carved into it and the day it passed away. Chains or bracelets with amulets baring the images of your pet is also a marvelous idea.

Conclusion
No matter which animal you have chosen to be your pet, or which animal has chosen you to be its owner, you are bound to an obligation to that special animal and that is to provide, health, food, love and care to that animal. When you have done so, a special bond begins to seal the companionship just like with a human. And with life, comes joy and happiness, but death waits just around the corner. Preserve you pet, preserve its memories so that it can be remembered forever.

5 Things Pet Owners Must Know And Provide For Their Pets

1. Home
No, i am not telling you to go take out a second mortgage and buy a Beverly hills mansion for your pet, but if you plan to acquire a pet, you must first ensure that you yourself is properly sheltered and in return, your pet will also have somewhere to shelter. By providing shelter for your pet you are directly ensuring the safety of the animal. Shelter will provide safety from unscrupulous individuals who kidnap certain pets for resale, food or fight. It will provide security from the environmental conditions, whether it be rain, dust, snow or storm. When you give the animal a good home, it lets your pet feel a sense of belonging to someone, somewhere, it is not a wanderer. For those pet owners who have the opportunity to provide a safe home for their pets, they also will then provide a home within their home for the animal. This is seen with owners either building or buying dog and cat houses.

2. Food
Every animal needs to feed, and as a pet owner you are obligated to providing your pet with nutritious foods needed to keep the animal strong and healthy.  It is quite simple, you acquire a pet, then you find out immediately what is the recommended food type for the animal, then you go out and buy the best foods that you can afford. Remember that having a pet is just like feeding a growing child. They will eat a lot.

3. Health
You must ensure that your pet keeps fit and healthy. How do you do this? Well the first thing you should put in your journal is to ensure that the animal gets its regular vet visits. The vet will determine any needs of the animal. Then you must ensure that you practice Proactive Health Care. This Proactive Health Care is simply providing natural healthy solutions for your pet that will help to boost the animals immune system. This can deter diseases and other infections. Then you need to provide the animal with healthy foods, foods that are natural and helps to build strong bones and teeth. Then last but not least, you must ensure the animal gets enough exercise as required. Some pets are very active and that activity is coded in their DNA. They need to run, walk, jump, they need to keep active. Keeping a pet exercised helps in its blood circulation and lungs and heart development.  It also prevents the animal from storing too much fat.

4. Love
So why would you go get a pet if you did not plan to love it. Love simply doesn't mean providing all the solutions above. It means showing the animal a type of care and interest that is in par to any human. It means to never reject nor neglect the animal in your care. Loving the animal means to never abuse the animal in any way. Once you are doing all these things, even if you can't provide a vet visit as often as you would like, the pet will sense that natural love and a bond will exist between you and your pet that is unbreakable.

5. Play
There must be time for enjoyment with you and your pet. Even if you can't participate in a game of catch the toy mouse or catch the Frisbee, you can certainly provide good toys for the animal which it may appreciate. Sometimes this toy acquiring is a trial and error thing. But the mistake that many pet owners make when buying toys is that they buy toys because "they" think it is cute and adorable. Your pet is not looking for cute and adorable, it is looking for fun and excitement. When you go out to buy your pet a toy, you need to see through the eyes of the animal and imagine yourself as your pet, then ask the questions. What is my pet like? Will he/she appreciate this?  Will this toy keep the animal active? Then make your decision on which toy is best to buy.
Conclusion
I have been a pet owner for over 15 years.  I have had cats, dogs, birds and fish. No matter what type of animal that you keep as a pet, they all deserve the same type of attention and care your would give yourself or a family member. They pets never asked to come to us, we took them home. It is our sole responsibility to ensure that at the end of the day, the animal gets the right treatment it deserves.
