It took her about two years to collect enough dog hair from their collie, and she mixed it with wool as wool is much more elastic than dog hair. She knit her husband a sweater from the stuff (his request) and he hardly ever wears it because he's too warm with it.<br /><br />She offered to spin the cat's hair for me, if i wish. I'm starting to save up JoJo's thick, grey clumps as she's losing her winter coat. Phoebe stays inside nearly all the time now, so not much hair from her. I'm thinking a pair of mittens would be fantastic.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-57732726691347506622012-05-05T14:40:56.225+01:002012-05-05T14:40:56.225+01:00I'm beginning to wish I knew someone who knitt...I'm beginning to wish I knew someone who knitted dog and cat hair... we could have had several sweaters by now!Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-8969938721814929582012-05-05T14:39:43.864+01:002012-05-05T14:39:43.864+01:00May I refer you to Lady Magnon, who returns from h...May I refer you to Lady Magnon, who returns from her Antipodean trip this evening.

I knew my mother hadn't put it in there on purpose, and so did everyone else. We had a Springer Spaniel when i was growing up, and they shed fine, individual hairs as opposed to clumps, so even assidious sessions with the Hoover meant only that you got most of the hair. One or two would invariably stay in the air until after the vacuum cleaner was put away before landing somewhere on the ground. Or in your food.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-10616752782894068602012-05-05T12:58:41.650+01:002012-05-05T12:58:41.650+01:00One of the best things about dog farts is you can ...One of the best things about dog farts is you can blame them for your own....Cathy Olliffe-Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729578896443750402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-90319008565777424072012-05-05T09:27:35.202+01:002012-05-05T09:27:35.202+01:00just about sums it up!just about sums it up!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-6988446488112311092012-05-05T09:17:43.024+01:002012-05-05T09:17:43.024+01:00.... and you give your heart to a dog to tear.... and you give your heart to a dog to tearJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-50011340969713331112012-05-05T09:02:08.832+01:002012-05-05T09:02:08.832+01:00Yep, that just about sums it up. ;)Yep, that just about sums it up. ;)Jennytchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621488409334115930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-43671480107167779952012-05-05T08:59:29.267+01:002012-05-05T08:59:29.267+01:00Now that I think about it... it's probably how...Now that I think about it... it's probably how Lady M talks about me too!Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-71171128198467034552012-05-05T08:57:40.514+01:002012-05-05T08:57:40.514+01:00Leaving bleached stains?Leaving bleached stains?Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-47894857381925744512012-05-05T08:49:13.574+01:002012-05-05T08:49:13.574+01:00They also wee on your brand new carpet.
