Book Description

March 27, 2007
When Fido leaves this mortal coil for the big farm in the sky, when Fluffy doesn’t wake from her afternoon nap, when a beloved gerbil takes his last run on the exercise wheel, the grieving humans are left behind to mourn. If your pets are a much-loved part of the family and you want to keep them with you, Get Stuffed offers you an even better choice than simple taxidermy. By turning your pet into a useful household object, he remains as beautiful—and valuable—as he was in life.

This fully illustrated guide features twenty-four inspired projects that enable you to convert your dearly departed pets into genuinely functional home décor. Whether it’s a doggie TV-remote caddy, a kitty foot-warmer (batteries required!), or gerbil wind chimes, these one-of-a-kind projects ensure that every dearly departed pet enjoys the same friend-to-the-end usefulness he did in his living years. With Get Stuffed, you never have to say good-bye.

2.0 out of 5 stars falls short on both the taxidermy and the joke, March 11, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Get Stuffed: 24 Projects for the Bereaved Pet Owner (Paperback)
I purchased this book as a gift for my father, but after I received it I didn't end up giving it to him. He does his fair share of trapping/hunting etc and enjoys a good joke so I thought this book was a good idea. However I thought the book fell short on both the taxidermy portion of the book as well as the joke. The first few pages cover "taxidermy basics" which were so "basic" that someone not already skilled in the process would have a hard time. The projects also don't provide much detail and rely on you being shocked and/or amused by the idea of a "poodle coffee table" or "hamster tea light holder" and I was amused at first but after two or 3 projects the other 20+ were kinda boring. Also I was initially put off by the size of this book. It's not much bigger than 5" X 5" and 1/8" thick.
