This post might be a little bit longer then most. Linda is still trying to explain it to me. It seems back in the olden days, (Really olden, like King Tut) the ancients believed that there was life after death. They even mummified their pets so they could continue their journey to the next world with their owners. There is a modern day company that is offering Mummification and Transference (?) to pet owners using medical technology, modern chemistry and art. Their ad says that "Your pet, at his natural earthy passing, will enter eternity in all of his splendor and beauty." The ad also says that the workers will mummify your pet with the love and affection of a mommy. First, the pet is treated with oil then wrapped in the mummy cloth which they say aids the journey of the pets essence to the next destination. When that is all done, the pet is placed within a bronze Mummiform. This whole process takes many months during which they keep in constant contact with you so you know how the dogs transference is going. When it is complete, you get your pet back in a perfect mummy package. Does anyone actually open the bronze holder to check DNA to really see if your dog is in there? The best part of the story... after your pet dies, they will also Mummify you too so you can arrive together! A dog Snickers size is any where from $50-100 thousand dollars. Ummm.... I think Snickers made it (and Linda, Tierney, Taylor and the Choopster will make it) to heaven just fine without being Mummified. Chip? Well, we will just have to wait and see.
