BUSINESS BOOMING FOR FIDO FUNERAL DIRECTOR

OCEAN ISLE BEACH, N.C. (Wireless Flash) -- Talk about gross profits: Business is booming for a North Carolina man who sells canary caskets, kittie urns and hound dog headstones. Thomas Shannon says sales at his T&S Pet Memorials business have soared 800 percent in the last two years thanks to pet owners who want to send their animals to the happy hunting grounds in high style. The canine casket company offers everything from a $60 standard issue wooden coffin to a top of the line $200 model complete with lace trim, padding and a pillow. Shannon also plans to add a line of fido funeral flower bouquets that will include chew toys with the blooms. The fido funeral director says business is going so well that he may have to quit his day job as a supermarket manager in order to keep up with the demand for dead doggie digs.
