I think it's calendar-worthy. It's a nice dog face. Great POV shot!

Well, there are people who DO spin their dog hair into yarn...imagine what THAT sweater smells like wet.

Yup, I know someone that just got skeins of yarn spun from her Pomeranian that passed last year.
A little weird, but heartwarming at the same time.

Hmm, not so good for the dude next to you on the train that's allergic to dogs... hehe. Knit him a tissue made from dandelions. ;D

Aaachoooo!! (I'm only kidding, y'all)

"Baybeh face,
you got the cutest little baybeh face!
There's not another one can take your place, baybeh face.
My poor heart is thumping,
You've really started something!"

I wouldn't mind this pommie as a screensaver.
Good to be back!

Holy Cuteness

Ha, threecatnight, I thought I was the only one in the world OK, besides my husband) that sings to doggies :)

Heheh... someone forgot to cut off the dog hair before spinning it into yarn...

That puppeh's fur is whiter than white!

Seven Paws
 |  Jan 21, 2008 at 01:01 PM

No no, M. -- this is actually the RESULT. What you're seeing is a washed, sheared, combed, spun, knitted, pre-shrunk, brushed, trimmed, buttoned, and ultimately re-animated craft project. The tail twist is a just sly bit of recursion.

Awwwww. This is a bebeh American Eskimo, is it not?

Looks like an Eskie to me! I am getting an Eskie puppy in March (the litter was just born), I am sooo excited.

For anyone who, like myself, didn't believe you could actually make yarn out of pet hair, BEHOLD: http://www.vipfibers.com/index.html

But we really have to ask ourselves ... is it live, or is it cotton candy?

Cutest puppy EVAR!

Emily
 |  Jan 21, 2008 at 03:13 PM

I used to know someone who combed, carded, spun and knitted her dogs hair.
She never came up with anything this good, however.

This pup is totally adorable! The look on his/hers face is so earnest and sweet, I would spoil it rotten! Please tell me pup has tons of snuggles and love! I'd totally make yearn out of her fur, too! Imagine the cute scarf you could get!? Just....don't ever get it wet, or YUCK...STINKY.

Eskie's don't stink! I know - I have one: Her Royal Fluffiness Nina Von Spitzen-Hundchen, Princess of Puff'nPaws. Their fur is incredibly soft and fluffy, like a cloud made for snorgling...

That's quite a name, Madam X. What do you call her for short?

She's like a big ball of cotton. I want to dip her in alcohol and rub her on my boo-boos.

I had an Eskie growing up and they shed like crazy. A lady came by and asked for us to collect hair from the brush so she could make mittens or something. It's a lot of work to keep them looking so white but it's worth it!!

missK
 |  Jan 22, 2008 at 11:15 AM

Oh, the soft pinkness in the ears, against the pure white fur is just killing me! I feel the urge to reach my fingers out and rub them.

 |  Jan 22, 2008 at 11:32 AM
