Cute or Creepy?

A Newcastle couple have found a unique way of keeping their beloved dead pets close to their hearts - by having the dog hair made into woolly jumpers. ​

I can't decide whether this is really quite sweet or actually really creepy. Maybe both?​

I think both! Very weird.

Creepy to the 23rd degree. If they were doing this with their mother's hair, there wouldn't be a question.

Both creepy and very sweet. But I think they did it just to have a dog wooly jumper.

gonna have to go with creepy. i can understand loving your pets but... cmon.

The more I read it, the more creepy it gets... after all they are wearing the fur of a dead animal, but it is still sweet seeing as they are remembering their pets...

I am still confused!

That is just plain weird, no matter how you view it.

I've been planning all along to have my cat skinned when she dies, and made into a Halloween costume for a baby (head and all).

At least they aren't wearing leather Miss Cow.

really funny! If you're not serious...and if you are it is funny anyway and this baby will have the best cat costume of the world.

I will take your word for it. Whatever this 'leather' you speak of is...

Damn right...why should a baby have to settle for anything less than the real thing? The children are our future, after all.

We used to have Norwegian Elkhounds...beautiful silver colored dogs who shed profusely. We were saving the shedded hair to have spun into wool and then have sweaters made. Do not laugh....we checked it out before hand, and there are a great number of people who do this..... wool is nothing more then sheep hair. Native Americans used to make blankets out of buffalo hide, complete with the hair on.

Strange.

 

[B_Think_Kink]

wtf.

Every time Shithead (the cat) destroys something he should be grateful there are not two of him, because at the moment he simply isn't big enough to get a pair of slippers out of yet.

 

[Bbucko]

Color me creeped out.

 

[B_Hung Muscle]

gross.... really.

I could understand having the pets stuffed and mounted on roller skates. Been there. Done that. But weaving a cat hair or dog hair coats (although Samoyeds are regularly shaved and their hair is used to make yarn and then coats . . . . hmmmmmm). No! We're talking about . . . uh, what were we talking about? Damn Alzheimers!

Oh, yeah. Samoyeds. Their coats have been shaved and spun into yarn for centuries. It's really not that newsworthy. Why they didn't shave their poor pets when the weather was hot to keep the dogs more comfortable is a tragedy. The squeeze has a Chow Chow. We're in Buenos Aires. It's sub-tropical and humid as the bottom of the ocean! I'm certain the squeeze is my karmic reward for coming to the rescue of his Chow and having the dog groomed regularly and SHAVED to within a millimeter of his skin when the weather turns unbearably hot. I wonder if we could have Beethoven's hair spun into wool? Naw. He'd just think it was another dog, by the smell, and get jealous.

Bury your dead pets under rose bushes and gardenias. Then you can continue to enjoy them for many years as they are transformed into blossoms. Yeah, that's it. Blossoms.
