Wearing your dog?

Wondering what to do with all that dog hair laying around? Well now instead of getting the vacuum out you can have it spun into a sweater! I am not sure how I feel about this, but it seems to have turned into a new trend. Victoria Pettigrew, the owner of VIP Fibers will spin your pets fur for $9 per ounce. The first thing I thought of was the smell, but Pettigrew states the spinning removes the enzymes that cause the dog odor.

Another knitter, Betty Burian Kirk will make you a coat, sweater, or other accessory for $50-200.

It turns out pet fur is 80% warmer than wool, remember that next time your dog is left outside in the summer!

Well I guess I better jump on board with this trend...gotta go brush my dogs.
