Funny book!

  • Maybe this should be in the books threads… but I found this quite by accident & it looks so funny! I almost want to buy it & try it!

  • I have seen this book and I actually have a 13 gallon trash bag filled with shed hair from my American Eskimo mix Teaga and a quarter bag of shed hair from my Pomeranian Darby saved. I will someday have the hair spun and have something made with it.


  • One of my co-workers breeds Samoyeds and has the hair spun into yarn and then knits sweaters, scarves and mittens. Very soft…reminds me of angora. She sells her products and donates the proceeds to rescue.


  • Its a good thing I don't have (or know anybody else who has) long haired dogs. I know I would end up with a bag full of hair to try to spin sometime….


  • One of my school chums used to spin dog hair and then weave with it. It really was very soft.


  • At one time, when my Eski was still alive, I thought about this. I decided I didn't want to actually DO the spinning, but thought about doing the gathering and sending it to be spun by someone, then making something out of the yarn. Never did it though….sort of wish I had....he was so SOFT, and warm too...

    Sorry, to keep bringing this up. I am good friends with artist's fiancee. They are getting married on the 18th of this month. It would be a great wedding gift if the comic got lots of support. http://www.smallpressidol.com/forum/topicview/misc/round_3_soul_bound.htm Please take the time to vote today.

They are trying to stay above the "Dreaded Line" so they get to at least show off their cover art in the publication. If they do really well, they may win a wild card spot in Round 4. Just staying safe from the "Dreaded Line" would be great.

    Wow! I haven't looked at a comic book for around 35 years. Things have sure changed since Betty and Veronica, Jughead and Superman. There were a series of comics I loved that were called something like "The Classics" - comic forms of Romeo and Juliet, Wuthering Heights and A Tale of Two Cities. I spent hours looking at the artwork and reading the stories over and over again. Though I just can't get into the Fantasy genre of things, I can appreciate the skill involved. Good luck to your friend!

    I can't tell you how many pills I've wasted trying to get Senji to take his pills. Even when I hide them in a ball of ground up meat and mix it in with his food, he SMELLS the pill in there and eats everything around it, but leaves the balls with the pills in them. Sometimes I make a few "decoy" balls to try to fool him, but he knows the difference.
