You wouldn’t name your child “Sh**head” (and probably are not allowed to legally) and I think it is a shame that someone thinks it is entertaining to name a pet that. Obviously there would be more problems to that with kids (they realize their name when they group up,) but it still reeks. Her video makes her look ignorant (comparing it to names that have double meanings) and red-necky. And I am from the south!

While I whole-heartedly support her right to bury a dog there, she should not have the right to display profanity in a public place. There are public decency laws/ordinance for a reason. Do I occasionally curse? Yes, but that doesn’t make it okay to permenately publish it in a public place. I don’t want someone’s headstone to be in the shape of a dildo because their name is “Peter” either.

If she wants to bury the dog in a plot she bought - she absolutely should be allowed. If she wants to call her dog a curse word, as much as I hate it and think she’s a jerk for doing so, she has every right to do so. But she shouldn’t have the right to force her profanity on me in a public place. Anyone with kids and that gives a darn, knows that. Too many kids these days are foul-mouthed exactely because of people like her. Any person that walks in that cemetary (including children) may accidently look at that headstone in a time of brievement.

I’m a pretty open-minded gal, but for the life of me I don’t know when showing a little decency became so “out of vogue”. There is a time and place for everything. If she looovvveeeddd her dog so much, then I doubt she would have waited 8 years to get a headstone that has profanity on it (much less call her dog that.) More than likely, she originally bought the plots for her and her husband, and keeps finding new ways to piss him off.

Well, if that were true, this argument wouldn’t be happening now, would it?

The memorial could just as easily been to “S”, which would be unlikely to offend anyone.

The work arounds used on Internet message boards to avoid webmaster oversight aren’t something parents should have to explain to their children when visiting the final resting place of a loved one.

Like Will Rogers said, “Your right to swing your fist stops where my nose begins.”.

And how we treat animals is a major indicator of how we treat people. And in turn, that has a HUGE impact on our prospects as a species.

That was the name of his dog.

However, if she had loved and respected the dog, she wouldn’t have given it that name. Words have both dictionary meanings and emotional context, and in this case both are disrespectful in the extreme.

That name wasn’t an expression of love. And the offense that other people are taking at it is so completely predictable that I believe it was intended. If she wants to atone somewhat for her attitude towards her dog while it was alive, she can give it a more respectful name so that its tombstone won’t provoke outrage. More likely, though, she’s already getting exactly what she wants.

One of my friends called a local funeral home and asked if she could be buried with her pets’ ashes (when the time came, of course). They told her that they couldn’t because it was against the law. However, they told her that if she wanted to be buried with a handbag - they weren’t going to look inside. Considering how many pets she’s had over the years, that’s going to be one big handbag!!

perhaps if people concentrated more on their own misdeeds and cruelties and ‘unchristian’ thoughts towards other humans they’d spend less time focused on other’s use of socially suspect language. if bad words were the only problem in society i’d say we’d almost be in heaven. it’s a pity that pettiness follows some into their damn graves- where nothing on this earth matters whatsoever. words mean f’naught when youre taking up real estate in the bone orchard.
