HI!!!

My Foster friend from the South Florida Siberian Husky Rescue, a 501c3 not for profit rescue organization wanted me to ask you a question. As you know me and my pals like to shed. We even go as far as to compleatly blow our undercote about twice a year. My Foster friend said once after he brushed me that he could have built another dog from the fur left on the floor. Well he heard that there was people who took this fur spun it and made stuff with it. There are more then twenty of my pals in the recue not including the foster friends own family pals. We can probably produce enough fur to cover Miami. If anyone knows of someone who does this can you have them send a message to my foster friend? phil@sibrescue.com.

Thanks and happy howl-o-ween!!!
