Shih Tzu full mask sporran? Anyone?

It has long been a theory of mine that young animals (including the human ones) are cute to ensure survival.

This has always been accepted scientific fact but then those 'cute' kids become teenagers and a teenager by definition is not fit for human society. We as parents should enjoy our kids while they're young and 'cute' but kill them before they grow. Any parent of a teenager should agree with this simple plan to preserve our sanity.

KiltedKnight is a wise man. Fortunately, for the human race, infanticide is illegal, else we should all stop human progress when our offspring reach the teen years. Just as our parents would have done the same.

Mark Twain said it well with regard to boys (I parphrase): When a boy reaches the age of 13, he should be nailed up in a barrel and fed through the bung hole. when he reaches 16, you should plug up the hole!

None of us kills our babies because they are cute! And then all that duty sets in, and the grandparents get involved and, well, you just can't shoot 'em.

I am about to be a grandfather, and I have bought both male and female clothing since I don't know what the gender is. One says, "I am just like my grandpa," and the other says, "My grandpa loves me."

I am ready to be the obnoxious grandfather who assures the longevity of the offspring, and I am quite certain that my son will produce children who are superior to everyone else's. Ha.

And if either Alexander or Maddie want a full mask ShihTsu sporran, I'll get them one.

Ha ha Jim I see you plan to live by the old addage: Spoil em rotton and then send them home!

Back on topic now, I wonder if it ever will become acceptable for us to "memorialize" our faithful pets as a sporran. My Dad has a yellow Tabby named "Gator" that sure has a highlander's attitude. He doesnt wear a kilt but he sure has the swagger for one. In a way I think it would be nice to still have the "old boy" around after he is gone.

Darn right. Stuff him and make a sporran out of him.

Tell everyone it's a mountain lion.

When my pet skunk dies I plan on having a sporran made out of him.

A brief off-topic aside: Neo, how did you happen to end up with a skunk as a pet? I know it is done, I'm just curious about it. Maybe you could pm me or put up a thread in OT. (Come to think of it, it might be interesting to hear about Jerry's flying squirrel too!)

Back on-topic: I don't think I could ever do a full mask sporran of a pet. I'm not against it for other people, it's just that I get really emotionally attached to my pets and wearing a reminder of their passing around my waist would tear me up.

[neo71665]

lol, country boy, have had flying squirrels, regular squirrels, skunks, deer, coons, rabbits, ducks, dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, cows, a mule, a donkey, a goat (for a week), and a few others. which one you wanna know about.

and back on topic, I'd rather have him a something like a sporran then do him like some people that get their pets stuffed. Then again I'm not much for dead animals hanging on my walls.
