{2117}{2213}{y:i}Inspiration of the pet cemetery business...
{2218}{2313}{y:i}is a little story that probably|{y:i}leads me back many years.
{2366}{2453}I was born in the state of North Dakota...
{2453}{2549}county of Barnes, city of Valley City.
{2575}{2653}I was there for several years.
{2653}{2749}Being born in 1930,|then the World War II started...
{2750}{2846}in 1941, when I went to the farm.
{2858}{2922}On the farm, I had my own pet collie...
{2922}{2984}which worked with me and was beside me.
{2984}{3080}No matter what I did and where I'd go,|my pet collie was with me.
{3137}{3233}One afternoon, we came back|from hauling bundles...
{3250}{3337}"thrashing," the old word's going.
{3337}{3433}And an old Model A came up the road,|struck my collie and killed him.
{3475}{3538}I never did catch him.
{3538}{3604}But I grabbed my collie...
{3604}{3688}and held him in my arms until he died.
{3688}{3784}And I pulled one little acre of land|right behind the house...
{3809}{3872}I'd say a quarter of a mile away.
{3872}{3968}It overlooked the prairie to the north...
{4002}{4075}which was really a beautiful"..."|It had a lakeside at the back.
{4075}{4166}I picked that as the cemetery|for my own collie.
{4166}{4261}{y:i}Right across the street|{y:i}from where I lived in Los Altos...
{4264}{4325}{y:i}was the most beautiful piece of land...
{4325}{4398}{y:i}as far as I was concerned,|{y:i}in the whole valley.
{4398}{4465}{y:i}And, boy, I knew what to do with it;
{4465}{4525}{y:i}make that into a pet cemetery.
{4525}{4598}{y:i}I thought, " Well, this is going to be|{y:i}my project of life. "
{4598}{4657}{y:i}I found the land, I found the need.
{4657}{4735}{y:i}Something the old-timers|{y:i}used to tell me years ago. ;
{4735}{4831}{y:i}"To be successful in this world|{y:i}and life, find a need and fill it. "
{4865}{4961}{y:i}And, boy, I found a need and I wanted|{y:i}to fulfill this more than anything.
{4968}{5064}{y:i}More than anything I did my whole|{y:i}life, I wanted to fulfill this dream.
{5222}{5311}And there is where we started our work.
{5311}{5407}Planning, development,|and getting the people interested.
{5431}{5464}Working with"..."
{5464}{5552}I worked with|Carnation Pet Food Company...
{5552}{5645}Safeway Stores, Lucky Stores.
{5645}{5676}Several.
{5676}{5765}I remember talking with Dicky Euwe...
{5765}{5802}of Dick's Supermarkets...
{5802}{5889}and asking him if I could come|and work in his pet food section...
{5889}{5968}and just hand out my cards|and talk to the people...
{5968}{6012}about having a pet cemetery.
{6012}{6108}I went to grooming shops,|I went to veterinarians.
{6150}{6246}And the interest I got was|just phenomenal. It was just great.
{6282}{6378}So then I had to get|some more interested people...
{6388}{6484}in the idea of it,|because we needed the financing.
{6536}{6632}Floyd is a heartwarming individual|who likes to do a lot for everybody.
{6640}{6736}And he came into the office one day,|and him and I got to talking.
{6786}{6866}His real name, I think, is Floyd,|but we always called him Mac.
{6866}{6960}And Mac, very surprisingly,|said to me that...
{6960}{7056}something he had always wanted to do|was put a pet cemetery together.
{7073}{7137}So I said, "Mac, that's amazing...
{7137}{7233}"because we've just been thinking|about the same thing ourselves...
{7254}{7350}"and maybe we can put it together|under one group."
{7363}{7404}So he said, "Wonderful."
{7404}{7458}{y:i}So I was made aware of this property...
{7458}{7547}{y:i}that is in Los Altos|{y:i}on Foothill and Highway 280.
{7547}{7643}{y:i}We felt that it would make|{y:i}a great place for a pet cemetery...
{7656}{7752}{y:i}because it had tremendous visual ability...
{7782}{7861}{y:i}and thousands of cars that went past 280.
{7861}{7945}{y:i}And the property leaned|{y:i}in other directions as well.
{7945}{8041}{y:i}It was a marvelous location|{y:i}for a restaurant or a motel.
{8067}{8124}{y:i}Various and sundry things.
{8124}{8220}{y:i}We found that people by the name|{y:i}of Dunton owned the property...
{8243}{8330}{y:i}and we approached them|{y:i}and asked them what they thought.
{8330}{8400}There was a meeting|held at Mr. McClure's house...
{8400}{8475}which I attended.
{8475}{8571}I was a little late, but during the meeting...
{8585}{8681}Mr. Dunton had expressed|his wishes, desires, and needs...
{8695}{8791}to Mr. McClure,|and emphasizing very strongly:
{8801}{8880}"Mac, you have nothing to worry about.
{8880}{8976}"I'm a minister of this particular church.
{8991}{9087}"You can trust me. I'm a minister.
{9107}{9185}"We will have a pet cemetery.|It will be a success.
{9185}{9247}"You and I, we'll put it together.
{9247}{9325}"We'll do it. We'll have it. Just you and I."
{9325}{9416}It was sort of a kismet idea.
{9416}{9512}So we went to work on the pet cemetery.
{9546}{9634}The ugly crisis...
{9634}{9729}which we used as our basis...
{9761}{9849}and this was nothing against|the SPCA of Santa Clara County...
{9849}{9945}or the Animal Control Officer|of Santa Clara County.
{9969}{10065}But the idea that we needed the concept...
{10143}{10239}for the people that loved their pets,|and needed a place for them.
{10256}{10348}Not the garbage pit, not the garbage can...
{10348}{10408}and a place to bulldoze them|into the ground...
{10408}{10504}because we have more love and desire|for Mother Nature's little pets.
{10504}{10592}God only gave us these pets...
{10592}{10688}to be our fellowship, desire, and will.
{10720}{10793}And what have we got|to give them in return?
{10793}{10889}Not to be put into a garbage pail|or a dump ground...
{10932}{11028}but our last goodbye for the things|they gave us.
{11105}{11201}{y:i}Rendering is an old industry. It dates|{y:i}back to the time of the Egyptians.
{11227}{11282}{y:i}They can trace it back this far, rendering.
{11282}{11357}{y:i}In the Bible,|{y:i}way back in the Old Testament...
{11357}{11442}{y:i}the guy cut off the sheepskin|{y:i}and put it over him...
{11442}{11512}{y:i}and put the lamb fat on him|{y:i}to keep him warm.
{11512}{11608}{y:i}It could be the oldest industry|{y:i}in the world. It could be. It's possible.
{11651}{11719}When the public got concerned|about recycling...
{11719}{11815}that's when the rendering industry|started to blossom out, so to speak.
{11839}{11935}And say, "Hey, we've been recycling|for 500 years here.
{11939}{12013}"Take a look at us. We are recycling.
{12013}{12078}"We're doing|what everybody wants us to do."
{12078}{12127}And that's when we started to come forward.
{12127}{12206}Before that, nobody talked about|the rendering industry.
{12206}{12299}That's why it was the invisible industry.|Nobody ever mentioned it.
{12299}{12367}On the quiet side,|what those guys do out there is...
{12367}{12459}they boil all this stuff in pots.
{12459}{12494}Stinks.
{12494}{12590}What is a rendering company?
{12635}{12731}My mind pretty near exploded|with the thought and the memories...
{12759}{12855}of a very bad nightmare.
{12858}{12926}A dream of hell.
{12926}{13019}And it took me back to this|rendering company in North Dakota...
{13019}{13115}where all the little pets at that time,|when they died, were"..."
{13130}{13178}A truck would come out...
{13178}{13235}and a big old driver|would come and grab your pet...
{13235}{13291}and throw him in the back end|of this old truck...
{13291}{13358}and take him to what I called|"the boiler chambers."
{13358}{13443}It's controversial. In other words...
{13443}{13495}we stay low-key.
{13495}{13564}We don't want people to know|we're bringing in animals...
{13564}{13643}and reprocessing animal byproducts.
{13643}{13721}Some people get nauseated by the thought.
{13721}{13810}They get nauseated by it, you know that?
{13810}{13897}I've had people ask me"..."
{13897}{13993}I've been at a dinner party,|been sitting down at a dinner table.
{14006}{14058}And somebody will say, "What do you do?"
{14058}{14121}And I say, "Hey, I'm in the tallow business."
{14121}{14160}And somebody will say:
{14160}{14256}"Don't bring that up right now.|Wait until after when we all break up."
{14263}{14343}In other words, "We don't want to talk|about what you do, Mike.
{14343}{14434}"It makes us sick."|Why, I don't know. But it does.
{14434}{14513}People say that all the time.
{14513}{14609}We called it back home "a glue|factory." They don't waste nothing.
{14624}{14720}They take the meat and strip it.|They take the bones...
{14725}{14821}and boil them, cook them, and|make some kind of meal out of them.
{14822}{14917}And they don't waste nothing, not even|the toenails on the animal or anything.
{14945}{15026}And the smell that came from it.
{15026}{15122}I walked in there one day as a child,|and saw all these animals laying there.
{15144}{15240}Being a 4-H man and an animal lover...
{15256}{15289}I just thought:
{15289}{15385}"Boy, being in hell, here I am.|I'm sitting on the floors of hell now."
{15434}{15516}Mike furnished the car, the station wagon.
{15516}{15612}And Mac furnished some furniture,|his time, and his promotion skills.
{15651}{15747}And Joe, also furniture and some labor.
{15774}{15870}We both dug the first few graves.
{15883}{15929}And I made some of the caskets...
{15929}{15989}and Joe would also go around|and pick them up.
{15989}{16085}He'd go around and pick up the pets|to be prepared.
{16108}{16204}Burying the pets was a very difficult task.
{16236}{16332}Mr. McClure was physically handicapped.
{16354}{16450}He couldn't in no way do|any physical labor whatsoever.
{16493}{16572}My having full-time employment...
