Meh needs to accept animal fur
13Not pelts, fur. You know, the stuff that goes flying through the air when you brush or pet your furry one. The stuff that accumulates under chairs and in the corners.
If Meh accepted animal fur, I'd buy three of everything they sell. For sure.

Ooh, that would work out well for me. I could pay in vacuum bag-fulls! (I'd have to get a vacuum with a bag, though...)
If they'd just forward me one of the schmancy vacuums on credit, I'd repay them very, very quickly.
Just kidding, I'll just shake out my nicest clothes, those are their favorites!
@jaremelz I'd never have to spend another penny here again! 2 Huskies blowing their coats twice a year and shedding every other second. My house would be the Meh house.
@looseneck I have a friend with a husky and she's sent me pictures of the mound of fur. It is insane!
@jaremelz There's a lady on the internet (because of course there is) who takes dog hair and spins it into yarn. I almost sent her my collection, but I don't know how to knit.
@looseneck how long is it? If it's long enough, I might be able to work with it (I'm a spinner and knitter). I'd blend it with something else, maybe alpaca, to make it stretch further.
@jaremelz Maybe 2 inches? I've been brushing them outside. Birds pick it up for their
nests. I swear one day they will just pull what they need right from my
dogs before I get a chance to brush it out.
@looseneck @jaremelz Bullet's undercoat is super soft. I'd like to think that the birds and squirrels make use of it.
@looseneck @Teripie If it's a couple inches long, I could work it into some other fiber and spin it. We have a family of swallows that built a nest on our little front porch. I gave them a little bit of wool and they worked it in there.
@jaremelz I could mail you a handful to test if you'd like - fresh off the dog :)
@looseneck I would gladly try for you. Save it up and send as much as you can. There's a lot of waste in the process. Ooh, I'm excited!
@jaremelz Me too!
i accept animal fur. i need to make a portrait out of animal fur for gishwhes.
@katylava What colors are you looking for? I have this strange mixed breed, who is chiefly blue but he's shedding a pale gray undercoat.....all the damn time!
I have a Furminator dog brush that can pull a pound of hair off on him in a minute!
@Teripie it was a little tongue-in-cheek -- i actually have plenty of animal hair, in gray and blonde. so, i can make pretty much any portrait. it's got to be a CW actor, so i'm thinking the chick from izombie...
@katylava You don't want bags and bags of and bags if this?
I probably don't even need to touch the dog to fill a few bags. Just cleanout some of the corners around here.
@katylava I may have Meh HQ address, 240 lbs of black Labs and 2 brown cats. I can expand your color palette to get her pupils and eyeliner
@Pamtha hmm... not sure if it would be kosher for me to receive to pet fur at work. anyway i was going to black-and-white the image before replicating it.
@Teripie he's pretty
@katylava Need lovely strawberry blonde lab fur? I'm your woman. I swear that dog should be bald by now.
@Teripie i should have mentioned earlier, but your dog is beautiful.
fur FUR! for God's sake what's wrong with you people. This is supposed to be a family forum and you'll start throughing blaspheme like fur about. You people are SICK DO YOU HEAR ME S I C K
@cranky1950 You sound a little cranky.
@cranky1950 You know, now that you mention it, I do feel a little tummy upset....
Whew! All better!
@lisaviolent That sound is like an alarm to watch where you step.
