fish and elk doesn’t seem that “special” of a diet in this circumstance.

In the PacNW, before it was settled, was a food paradise. Food was in abundance everywhere all year long. The locals - especially the Skoks, held ‘potlatches’ were they destroyed food and other material wealth in huge bonfires.

When faced with starvation due to the yearly raids by the Canadian tribes, they would hold their collective noses and resort to eating clams, oysters, and Dungeness crab.

Back when we were dating, one fall Beau took me to a local Sheep Farm and we saw how yarn was made from start to finish. And, of course, I went home with a lot of yarn and a SEVEN POUND organic chicken that we had for Christmas Eve dinner that year. :)

I’ve seen ads in crafting magazines for people that will take your pets’ shed fur and spin it for you.

A diet of fish and elk sounds pretty good to me.

It’s so hard for a dog to resist chasing the shuttle.

Looks very much like cashmere.

[Red Badger]

Feels soft and luxurious. My parents had Samoyeds................

[Salamander]

Wow.
I’ve petted Samoyeds and I bet that scarf feels like a warm cloud.

[Red Badger]

Yes, but it always wanting to lick your face can get annoying......................

[Salamander]

I dearly miss every “ annoying “ thing my boy did.

[Red Badger]

Yes, they are wonderfully happy dogs...............
