Conversation with the Hotband #4358972
"Bury them in the backyard," my husband suggests.
"That's gross," I counter. "And what if we move? What then?"
"We'll dig the dogs up and take them with us."
"Excuse me?"
"Yeah. We can dig them up. I'll have them neatly in boxes and wrapped up so that we can take them out of the ground and move them to wherever we move!"
He sat there, beaming, as though this was the solution to world peace.
"We cannot dig up the dogs," I said. "What if it were 10 years from now? Would you still dig up the dogs?"
"Absolutely."
"Do you understand how gross that is? Why not just have them stuffed and sitting in our living room for the rest of our lives?"
I was being sarcastic.
"That's a GREAT idea," he yelped! "Then we can always have the dogs with us! I am going to look into that."
"No you are not," I said.
"Yes I am! And, I am also going to take a month off of work when Snoop dies. I won't be able to get over it."
"He's a dog, babe."
"Yes, I know that."
"So what happens when I die? Are you going to have me stuffed too?"
"I was going to have you cremated," he said. "And put you into a rhinestone covered pink urn."
He was so proud of his answer.
"So let me get this straight," I said. "You are going to dig up the dogs and take them with you anywhere you go. You may even stuff them so you can have them around. But me, you're going to stick in some jar somewhere in the house where I can get lost or misplaced?"
"No! Actually, I was going to take some of the ashes and have it made into a jewel so I can wear you all the time!"
"Oh, fabulous. And when you re-marry, you can give your new wife your ring with me encrusted in it!"
"Wow. That would save money! I should have thought of that."
So my question to all of you is this...what are your final plans for yourself? Buried or cremated? Do you want to be in your own backyard to be dug up 10 years from now? Would you rather be stuffed so you can spend your life in bed with your true love? And what about your pets? What would you do with them when they died?
Knowing my luck, I will end up in the litter box the day that the cats run out of litter.
