Frankenstiening a puppy
It's starting to look like none of you are going to buy me a dead dog. That's okay, I understand that it's difficult to get ahold of such things. And yes, I understand that breaking you're pets neck just so I can have something interesting laying around the flat may be asking a bit much. So, I've decided to go with plan B. I'm making my own.
Everytime I told someone this they came back with the same response. "What???". That's fair enough. I'll explain 'cos I know you've just said it too. Yesterday I went to B&Q and bought some wire and plyers. No, this isn't some elaborate dog catching device in the making, although in an abstract manner it is. I'm capturing the spirit of a dog using wire and my creative inginuity. It may work, it may be a big pile of dog excrement. So far I've done a bit of work on the head and I must say I'm quite proud. It's looking like the way I sketch. Lots of haphazard lines over each other in an attempt to get a rough shape...only in 3D.
It's been ages since I've done something creative, and it's enjoyable so far. It's far enough along that I've started to look at it like a real being. Stroking it works for me. I'm just pondering how exactly to go about the next bit. I'm either going to leave it abstract and possibly weak, or strong and I might lose some of the uniqueness. It's a toughy.

HAHA i like it. I would much prefer to asssociate with a pretendy dog brought into this world by the amazing Mac than something that used to be alive.....i must admit i wasnt overly fond of the taxidermy idea lol.
I do not wish to see this amazing creation until it is complete....however i do think you should take pictures as it progresses to document its creation.
As for going about the next bit....ill leave that to your insane imagination :P

Thank you for your thought filled comment lfaiwj1314. It's much appreciated.
I think I prefer it this way too. It's a lot more creative and....weird. Although I will have to cover his ears (he has those now) when you use such phrases as pretendy dog. Even wire mesh's have feelings. He's my little baby.
I shall endeavour to take pictures. I was going to put them on the blog, but if you don't want to see then I can just hold off on that.
As for the next bit, he's sitting (as much as you can sit without a body) there staring at me, but I can't quite figure out what he wants. Does he want me to move onto the body? To secure the strength of the head? Does he just need to go outside to releave himself? doG knows.
