You had me at "celebrity pet cemetery plots", but I actually got a little heartsick towards the end with all the regular civilian pets that were loved enough to get a marker for their final resting places! "Bubbe" and "Lover Boy", the bylines "not much fun without you" and "you were my favorite reason for living"...ugh! I can't handle it! Good sleuth work on the Harry James and Betty Grable pet connection. I now want to see if there's a book on vintage Hollywood stars and their pets (if there isn't, there sure as heck should be!).Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-62757925214874462602013-02-15T09:52:32.775-08:002013-02-15T09:52:32.775-08:00Hahahaha!

When we were young and the parents would load us up in the mini van to visit relatives, I had to sleep in the car on more than one occasion! Our visit to LA Pet Mortuary is the closest I have ever been to that many animals all at once without any problems at all. The names are so sweet and funny and bizarre; I 'm think I should write a baby names book for pets!Mr. Tinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646297018044505890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-88956214756272673742013-02-14T12:12:53.464-08:002013-02-14T12:12:53.464-08:00What a great post!

Once when I was visiting one, a man was walking his Corgi there. I started talking with them and learned that the dog was about to have to be put to sleep and the man was just showing the Corgi the lay of the land. Completely freaked me out with sadness! On an upbeat note, I just love the name "General Nuisance". <br /><br />You DO sound allergic to pets. You'd probably combust if you so much as came onto the block that my house is on. I'm sure all of your clothes are clean and pet hair free though which is just a dream out of reach for me.<br /><br />Happy Valentine's Day!

I guess that should have gone without saying.... I know that expensive pet cemeteries aren't the only option; my sister was pet-sitting for a friend and their cat was ancient (blind, incontinent, and only had a few teeth). They said that if the cat died while they were gone, to just call animal control. Fortunately, those steps were not necessary.Mr. Tinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646297018044505890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-12447564722171454742013-02-14T08:05:47.905-08:002013-02-14T08:05:47.905-08:00I'm glad you liked it, thanks!

When the unfortunate time comes, I think a mummified cat would be quite the conversation starter at a cocktail party!

Though now I find her name quite boring when there are others such as Jiggles and Zebariah. I had to stifle my laughter at my desk as I read Snoopy's marker (shame on me!).
