Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
i have had a pet very close to me that died. i put them in a box or something and burry them next to my house.=/personaly, i would never stuff any pet. i would think that it would be terrible to see it every day. its very sad but you should probably burry the animal.

technically you could probably take your dog to a taxidermist and have him stuffed when he dies, but that doesnt seem like a humane thing to do. it is also extremely expensive. i would suggest burying your dog if you want to have him near, just make sure he is at least 6 feet under the ground. also, you could cremate him and have his ashes put in a box or urn. if you dont like either of those options, you could always take him to an animal hospital, where they will dispose of the body.

I know how you feel... when my dog started getting older, I kept wondering what it would be like and how I would react when he died. Some of our most special times together were going for walks at the forest preserve, and I always planned that I would have him cremated and scatter his ashes at the park, so he would always be "there" in the place he loved most. Well, when he actually died (I had to have him put to sleep cuz he was really sick - hardest thing I've ever done), I was too much a mess to think straight, and the vet said he would just "take care of things", which meant disposing of the body in some way I don't even know. I regret that a little bit, but on the other hand... I know that no matter what has happened to his body, his spirit is always with me. Anyway, ask your vet what the different options are and decide what you feel most comfortable with. But whatever you choose, just remember that your dog's love will never die and he will be with you forever.

There is a couple ways have a memorial for him/her. You can also put him/her in a urn that is when they burn your pet and put his ashes in a little box that you can keep with you forever.

When some of my rabbits died,
I just buried them in my backyard.
We put angel and rabbit statues around it,
and planted flowers.
Yes, you could stuff your dog I guess,
if you took it to a professional.
You might be able to find a taxodermist in your area.
(fancy word for person that stuffes animals.)
Or if you can't, ask a vet.
It might be a bit weird, and depressing
if you had your dog stuffed though.
So you might change your mind about it.
Personally, I would find it
very sad to have to look at my dead pet everyday,
but I guess it's up to you.
For now, I would really try not to think
about your dog dying. Enjoy the time you have with him/her now. And don't think so far into the future.
(Unless your dog is dying...)
