She Had Her Dog Taxidermied After He Passed Away, But She Never Told Her Family Members And After They Came To Stay With Her, They Have Accused Her Of Being Strange While Also Expecting Her To Help Pay For Them To Go Stay In A Hotel
A woman had a 15-year-old Pomeranian named Franco, who sadly passed away a year ago. After Franco died, she decided to have him taxidermied.
It was an incredibly long process to have that done, and it actually ended up taking close to 18 months.
Franco was only recently returned to her in a pose that makes it seem like he’s taking a nap on a couch that she has sitting in her home office.
Since Franco’s passing, she ended up adopting two other Pomeranians from a rescue organization.
She admits that some Pomeranians can be ankle biters that just yap on end, and many people cannot handle them, but she adores the breed.
“My new pups, Guido and Vinnie, are good about leaving him alone after freaking out when he first came home,” she explained.
“However, I did not think to mention what I did to my family. My brother and sister-in-law and their kids are visiting for Christmas. They are here from New Zealand, so it is a long visit.”
Now, she and her wife live in a city, and they have a lot of space in their home, so her family figured it would be best to stay with her until they leave to see California.
For the last couple of days, her family has been out and about sightseeing, and they only just got back to her house after being away for a while.

When they got back, she was in her office doing work, as she works from home. She does work for herself, though, so she let her family know that they could knock on her office door if they ended up needing anything.
“My SIL knocked, and I told her to come in,” she said. “She tried to shoo Franco off the couch. I was busy and didn’t notice until she screamed and ran out of the room.”
“Everyone noticed then. Me, my wife, my parents, my brother, her kids. Everyone came running to see what happened. She was sitting on the stairs crying. Apparently, she peed herself a little because she thought one of my other dogs had died on the couch.”
She then announced to her family that yes, she had Franco stuffed and sitting in her office, but her wife was the only person who already knew that.
Her nieces actually ended up thinking it was neat of her to do that, but she knows they think she is a bit nutty, to begin with.
Her mom and dad, and brother, though, are really upset with her. They even called her strange for wanting to stuff her dog in the first place, and they also believe she should have issued a warning to all of her family members.
“My brother and sister-in-law want to go stay at a hotel,” she continued. “They expect me to pitch in since it is my fault for scaring the pee out of her.”
She’s left wondering if it was really so wrong of her to have stuffed her dog and not told her family about what she spent her money on.
