That's %#@@$# sick. Of course, I'm one of those people who loves his pets almost on the same level as people... so to me this is almost like having Grandma made into a hat.
Seriously, there is a lady that teaches how to spin and weave sweaters from your live dogs, provided they have poodle-type hair, or at least an undercoat. Prime spinning season is of course when the winter coat starts coming out.
I don't see a problem with that, but a dead dog sweater is pretty icky.
Of course, a dog hair sweater is a pretty good way to keep the Islamists at bay...
BTW they use shed fur from a living dog, not dead Fluffy's skin a la Ed Gein (the real-life inspiration for the skin-suit-sewing psycho from "Silence of the Lambs").
I think the sweaters aren't particularly attractive and they look like they'd itch something fierce.
Bad fashion statement?
ReplyDeleteThey don't look comfortable - a little "ruff" around the openings, I'd say...
I hear so many people going "ew" about wearing dog fur. But love wearing wool, cashmere, and alpaca.
ReplyDeleteI would have some problems though wearing a Poodle sweater.
These people think they have a great idea, but I say they're barking up the wrong tree.
ReplyDelete(I must say, though, that a dog-fur sweater is still an infinitely better idea than dog-fur underwear.)

ReplyDelete... a blue hat?
ReplyDeleteROTF, Cary!

Do they have lampshades made out of the skins of their deceased parents?
ReplyDeleteWhichever one of them dies first will be fashioned into a lovely trenchcoat.
ReplyDeletelol. Love it when you guys pull out the puns.

I read it the same way at first.. like they skinned Rover. But you're right, it's just a fashion crime.
ReplyDeleteSweet, but misguided.
ReplyDeleteIt would seem rather less endearing if they knitted jumpers from the hair of their dead (human) relatives, for example.
The hair might be clear, and the sentiments pure, but it's would be tad psychotic.
So is this.
Suppose it gives "hair of the dog" a whole new meaning though.
i could not wear something i knew to have once had fleas, ticks or other crawly, biting creatures!
