My own cute animal pic of the day. This is Ti, my Australian Shepherd. We enjoyed 10 wonderful years with him. He died on Friday, lots of tumors and difficult breathing. I plan to needlefelt a dog from his fur.

Ti was a gorgeous dog, Ellen, and I'm so sorry it was his time to say goodby.  As many animals as I've had in my long life, it still is never easy to let them go.  And what a fantastic tribute to him - please post photos when you finish.  Hugs.

What a gorgeous friend he was! It's so sad that our pets don't live as long as we do, but I'm sure you enjoyed your years together very much. (I think he'll be waiting for you--breathing easy by a warm fire somewhere.)

Thank you all. I will try to post pics of the needlefelted critter.....I know that Ti is romping around with his good buddies Cabernet, Zeidico, Moses and Charlie, and I am sure a nice warm fire will be waiting for me (although Ti would run outside as we cared for the fire in the house (in the wood stove)

There has been a trend in recent years where people have been using fur from their dogs to make yarn for knitting sweaters and things.  If I remember correctly, it's called "chiengora."

When people make yarn for chiengora, I understand that they often mix the dog fur with a little bit of wool in order to make it stronger.  I'm not certain whether it would be called for in this case but it's something to consider.

I think it will be neat to make a Bear from chiengora.  bear_cool
