Social Dilemma: Would You Get Your Dog Stuffed After He Passed?

Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma is about saying goodbye to a furry friend. Here's the email: Hey Jaime, my name is Eric and I love to listen and I wanted to get your opinion on something for the social dilemma. My wife and I got a dog right after we got married 12 years ago and sadly, his time is coming to an end. The vet told us the only humane thing to do is to put him down and we're going to do so this Friday. It’s so sad, and I’m heart broken but the dog has had an amazing life and it's just his time. We don't want him to be in pain. My wife is so devastated that she told me she never wants to get another dog and she wants to pay a taxidermist to stuff our dog, and she wants him displayed in our bedroom. I thought she was joking but she’s completely serious and I think she’s lost her mind. I love our dog too, but I think this is over the top. My first question to you is how do I get her to come back to earth and my second question to you is how do I get her to come back to earth! Am I being insensitive for not wanting to stuff my dog and display it in my bedroom? Hope you can help. Thanks ~ Eric Well, first let me say how sorry I am about Eric's dog. It's never easy to lose a family member. Personally I would never use the services of a taxidermist for a pet of mine. It seems a bit much to me, but maybe it makes Eric's wife feel better. I'm not sure what the right answer is here. What do you think? Let's help Eric out and let me know on the TRY Facebook page.
