Duane's little web log

If you're feeling compelled to just click any old link I send you, don't do it this time.

Stop a second and think about how you feel about a bear rug. You know, the ones on the floor of the lodge that have a head at one end and look like they have done a swan dive from a 20 story building.

And of course you know that taxidermists stuff animals after they have been hunted or passed away with the idea of keeping either a trophy or the memory of that animal around.

Apparently some taxidermist has done the rug thing for family dogs and cats. The link below shows some of the finished work.

I found the images interesting and disturbing. What I found interesting was that I wouldn't have had the same reaction to the pictures if they were bears or tigers. Perhaps because dogs and cats are animals we love and grow attached to where bears and tigers are animals we fear.

Anyway, now that you have been fully warned, here's the link.

Cheers,
Duane
