Would you wear something that belonged to your deceased pet?

Wow, I thought you meant wearing its skin as a hat or something. I wouldn’t, but I wouldn’t necessarily judge you for doing it either.

Nope.

Probably not, but if you want to, that would be okay with me.

It’s a tiny baby bottle. Incase you guys thought it was big. :/

Sure. I’m wearing one of my deceased dogs’ collars right now! ;-)

Actually, I would consider that to be a loving tribute to your passed pet. :)

Holding on to something that reminds you of a dear pet is common. Some people have their pet cremated and hold on to their ashes. I think my sister wore her dog’s ID tag on a necklace after it was hit by a car and had to be put to sleep.

Wearing a real baby bottle is unusual, so of course people are going to ask about it or express judgement. There isn’t anything wrong in wearing it. Expecting people to not question it or not find it odd is another matter. Be prepared to patiently explain the situation. Once they know the meaning behind it, I bet you will find that it could change some of the initial reactions you are experiencing.

My son used to wear our dogs “dog tags” on a shoelace around his neck, right after she died.
He did that for one whole summer, then when it was time to go back to school he put them away.

What sort of rude comments could be made? Im interested in what these people thought you were wearing it for. I would wear my dog or cat’s tags if they passed away.

I saw someone on a metro train who was wearing his dead dog’s ID tag.
The dog had recently died. I mentioned it. He told me. I said I was sorry for his loss.
I could not. My last lost pet, Jacky-love, has been gone nearly 2 years.
And I still cry if I see his picture, hear his name, remember something he did that I miss.
Wearing his tag, especially the tag he wore when he was killed, would just tear me up.

But if it helps you memorialize Sylvia, do it.
Stupid people be damned.

I can’t figure out what I’d wear of theirs – I’m not into chewed up plastics as accessories but I know there are some people featured on regretsy who’d love to work with stuff like that.

There is nothing wrong with it, but you have to admit that wearing a baby bottle around your neck, even a small one, is going to strike people as a little odd and will provide an opening to those who are less civilized to make rude comments.

When my dog passes away I’m going to put her nametag on my keychain.
