LOL!
We look fondly on all the teething marks left by our last dog. The new one has also left his mark on other places.
We have 3 former pets buried on our land. For the one who died in a cold winter, my husband laid down some metal sheeting, built a charcoal fire on it and covered it with more metal. This thawed the ground enough for him to dig a grave while the pooch laid in state in one of our outbuildings. His dog buddy insisted on visiting daily for about 3 days, nosing his dead friend to try waking him up.
I like the nose print pendants. My husband was a metal worker and I think we could get a mold print off the current guy.
As to spinning dog fur: it takes several year’s worth of sheddings to get enough to spin. It is very fine with coarse guard hairs mixed in, and is probably best if mixed with some wool. Many breeds’ hair will continue forever to smell doggy when wet.
I’m just please that no one has posted the lemon grass dog recipe, nor made any snide references to our dog-eating occupier of the White House.
