This reminds me of a friend of mine that owned a very large sheepdog named Ralph. My friends wife knitted. The blend became obvious. Soon Ralph was knitted into scarves, sweaters, and endless other items. I have no idea what these items smelled like wet. Oh well it was only a sustainable suggestion. http://interglacial.wordpress.com/
