would this be considered mean?

I think it is up to person, I don't think it's wierd at all. It all depends upon your own feelings.

Now what I think is creepy is getting your pet stuffed...an old friend of mine went to a cavalier breeders house, and started petting one that was by the fire, and it didn't respond. Turns out the breeder had it stuffed and put it by the fireplace...that's a little wierd. But I guess it's all up to you, don't worry what other people think.

It is not cruel or weird if you want something to remember your pet by.

Each person decideds for them selfs..I wouldnt as I couldnt take it..

I think it wouldn't be mean, I know a maybe a year ago a lady was making scarfs and hats out of dog fur on PT but I wouldn't take it further than that like having an animal stuffed if thats what you meant?

I've always kepts my dogs collars especially my one dog when I was little, I was heartbroken and it let me keep a part of him, My mum still has her old dogs bed aswell she cant bring herself to throw it away so maybe keep a collar or a fave toy?
