During a short time around the "lunch hour" today, I decided to kick back and stop work-related stuff. Well, it seems everything is work-related, but I wanted something interesting. I stumbled across information on the growing (still) trend toward providing goodies for Americans' pets, and giving pets and their people more opportunities to be with one another. Eventually, I came across websites about pet hotels, places to find pet hotels, hotels that have special amenities (with appropriate costs) for pets, etc. Years ago, before I had any sense, I tried to create a PetGuide Chicago, with the idea that I would franchise it all over the country. I knew nothing about business and had not a clue how to market it. It never went anywhere.
I'm back, though, with a deep interest in starting another business that will take advantage of Americans' love for their beasts...and which will meet a need. I'd like to brainstorm by asking anyone reading this blog to share ideas.

As you know, I'm sure you've read about them, pet cemetaries are very fashionable for the well heeled, as a last "treat" for their pets. And more recently, cremating human remains has become more the "in" thing to do... so, why not crematoriums for pets? With, of course, very fine Urns, in which to place the ashes... which could then be stored on mantels, or book-shelves. Then, when the owners move... as our society becomes ever more transient, the owners could take the Urns, with Fido's ashes, with them and thus never be far away from that faviorite ole hound's remains... which would be a constant reminder of what a wonderful and special pet he was. It's just an idea... and you're the one who was soliciting ideas... so that's my contribution. Best of luck in becoming wealthy in this endeavor of helping folks find yet another way pet owners can spend their money.
