Everyone who has ever come to love a pet knows the pain and grief that accompanies illness and death. Sometimes, people just don't understand the pain. Thursday on The Sound of Ideas, we'll discuss how pet owners make decisions about sometimes expensive and involved medical care for their beloved pets and how they handle grief after death. Plus, we'll look at the extreme ways some people memorialize their pets. Did you know Fido could be freeze dried? Join host Mike McIntyre at 9:00 a.m.Amy Finkel, producer, 'Furever'
