Ok, put on your thinking caps everyone. The world is being inundated with dog hair being shed. What could be some uses for all this excess dog hair? Could we use it for art, to make fake dogs, fuel, come up with something!!
I heard about people using human hair to form pictures, ever so long ago. Or maybe we could collect it all and use it to start fires in woodstoves. What are some of your ideas?

My first thought was pictures. I have seen some pictures done with human hair and I think they are amazing! I wonder if they would be able to do that with dog hair. Only thing is dog hair isn't as long as human and I don't know if it is as strong either. What about tupaes for humans 
or rugs?

I've seen those too. I know I'm not talented enough to do it, that's for sure! But the one dog's hair is so beautifully golden, it would make lovely pics.

I could have the most beautiful black and white sweaters if I could spin and knit. I actually use dog hair as an excuse to clean. I hate to clean but I hate dog hair more.
I also use it to keep nosey neighbors out of my house, and to keep people from asking for rides. I just warn them that no matter how hard I try I always have dog hair on my couches, and in my car.
It is also good for clogging drains (after baths), and if you play with your pooch in sunlight you can pretend that there is a mini ticker tape parade as you watch the hair fall to the floor.

Mine is a pretty golden color, so it makes such lovely balls. That float around outside and keep coming back no matter where you put it...
