    Once when I was in middle school my hamster died and it was winter so the ground was too hard for burying him so I put him in the freezer and then I forgot to bury him when it thawed. I got another hamster in high school and a couple years later that one died, as they do, and then I put that one in the freezer as well. After my freshman year of college my parents moved, and we remembered the hamsters in the back of the freezer, so I finally buried them in the yard that summer. Anyways, there were multiple hamsters in the freezer for years, in a little box and you just sort of worked around them when you needed ice cream or whatever, and when I looked at them before burying them it was pretty crazy, they were perfectly preserved and solid as a rock.

      I got my beloved dog still in the freezer after he got bitten to death during the winter, I just need a calm day for the funeral and just haven’t had the time since the freezing just left the soil where I live.

      His name was Gato and he brought me so many happy memories. He loved to sleep on my arm

        Damn, I was talking about like fish and chicken

        But also, similar story with my Minerva. Her 17 years all caught up with her at once back in December. There’s no real reason why I haven’t taken care of her body yet, besides the fact that it I don’t want to realize the finality of it.

        It was hard to learn to sleep without her laying down on my arm. Wish I’d taken a picture of that.
