What to do!

Thanks to everyone who replied.
I've decided to go in a different direction with Krinckleback.

I'm going to have him freeze dried.
8.95 an inch plus the shipping cost. The company is out of Missouri.

Very good idea Steve!

As a side note, I completely understand having it done with a reptile or bird but I do not get the cats and dogs. That is a little wierd to me, but then again I have never really been a cot or dog guy.

Too me those two words are interchangeable, I think it stems from my dislike of both items!

I must admit, I'll take a cot over a cat everytime.

Definately an interesting alternative

Anything new on this front?

[guidofatherof5]

Nothing new other than I'm waiting to have the money before I send him out. They said he would keep for about a year in the freezer.
Here's a link to the company I've chosen:AEWS Pet Freeze dry Preservation, Pet Burial, or Cremation

ooo bleach it!!! get off as much meat as possable and then you boil it for a while in this wierd solution (ill ask my dad, hunters do this for skull, european mounts, ect.)

In a controlled (or somewhat controlled) environment, I think Shannon's idea would work best. They have something like that (believe it or not) for humans in Tennessee called "The body farm". They will place bodies outside in different scenarios to recreate a death scene or homocide and let the insects and/or nature do the work. They try to get the body to the same stage of decomposition. Insects are a very important part of the process. Just a thought. But would take time.

I want to keep him as life like as possible. This process seems to offer that. Looking at some of the done work, the animals look alive.
I think I want to remember my boy as close to alive as I can.
Him being gone is still difficult at times. Him and Scar were very special boys. I have no other males like them. I'm sure others will come along but these two will be thought of daily.
