Dog Hair Sweater....

I know it's been awhile since I have posted something (I have been busy dealing with other affairs). At any rate, I saw this and knew that it required a posting.

When my childhood dog died at the age of 17 (or something like that; the point is he was REALLY old), my mom had him cremated, and he sat, for a time, on top of the television in our living room. On the creepiness scale, that's a "1" compared to the below.



Beth and Brian Willis really loved their dogs Kara and Penny. They were very sad, understandably, when they died. What did they do to remember them? Frame a photo of their beloved pups? No, that's too normal for these two. They decided to make sweaters out of the fur of their dead pets. Yes, I said sweaters out of their dead dogs.

The horrifying and ugly sweaters were made by gathering "thousands of dog hairs from brushes and carpets," which makes you wonder how often they vacuumed their house. Apparently, they're quite warm and waterproof in addition to being so goddamned creepy. And they have enough fur left over for a jumper, which is currently being made.

Taking the concept to its logical conclusion, the couple plans to have their skin made into fashionable hats for their children when they die. It's the circle of life!
