Pets into Diamonds?

Instead of burying your deceased pet, would you immortalize your pet by cremating and turning their ashes into diamonds? Apparently, companies are now offering to turn your pet’s ashes into jewelry. This practice was first done 10 years ago to memorialize humans, but now it is now an idea for deceased pets. Some companies such as LifeGem, Pet-Gems, and DNA2Diamonds allow you to turn your deceased pet into jewelry. Strange, yet interesting idea!

Inventor, Andrew Gray, came up with an innovation that allows pet birds to drive around anywhere it would like! The Bird Buggy works from the bird pushing a little joystick with its mouth. When it is time to put the bird back in his cage, Bird Buggy docks itself to a base station by using a web camera. Check out how it works by watching the video below.
