A topic we all don’t like to think about
By cuzzy | May 2, 2008
This is a guest post by Bryan from GrandmasterB. The views are not necessarily that of the CDB but we like to offer different viewpoints from the dog world.
The subject of this post is one that no pet owner wants to think about, but must endure eventually. Dealing with the death of a pet is like dealing with the death of a loved one. Our pets are a big part of our lives and part of our families. My wife and I are dealing with uncertain times right now as our eight year-old German Shepherd / Rottweiler (Mandy) is starting to show signs of old age. I know that she probably has a lot of good years left, but it’s made me think. How would we memorialize her when she’s gone?
The option of taking her to the veterinarian and paying for a disposal fee just doesn’t seem right for such a loved member of our family. We want to be able to remember her for many years to come. Many pet owners opt for to have their pets cremated and retain some or all of the ashes in urns; while others choose to scatter or bury the ashes. There are some pet owners who have a very strong emotional attachment to their pets and desire a memorial object of sentimental value by which to remember their lost loved one.
Gem-Pet™ provides top quality synthetic gemstones manufactured with a portion of a pet’s ashes. Other providers of memorial pet gemstones take a piece of zircon and simply add a portion of the remains to the stone’s surface. A Gem-Pet™ Gemstone is a synthetic gem produced using the actual ashes, making it a unique and genuine object.
Gem-Pet™ products propose to shift from commonplace methods of handling ashes to cleaner, more modern, attractive and meaningful approach to memorializing a pet.
Gem-Pet™ is conducting a survey to determine whether or not there is a market for this type of service. If you wouldn’t mind taking a few moments to fill out the online survey it would be greatly appreciated. The survey does not acquire any personal information other than your zip/postal code (email address is optional).
Thank you for your help.

Thanks for your useful post. In recent times, I have come to be able to understand that the symptoms of mesothelioma cancer are caused by the particular build up of fluid relating to the lining of the lung and the upper body cavity. The sickness may start inside chest region and pass on to other parts of the body. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include weight reduction, severe inhaling trouble, a fever, difficulty swallowing, and inflammation of the neck and face areas. It ought to be noted some people having the disease never experience any serious indications at all.
