    One thing I just noticed about this vendor's auction listings: in each of the listings he states that the pictures of the specific animal sporran you are seeing is the actual one you will be bidding on and recieving. However, looking back over his prior auctions he has used these exact same pictures on several previous auctions, also stating on them that they too were actual pictures of the animal sporran you would be bidding on, and all of those auctions sold. Seems like the guy is not actually taking pictures of the sporran you would be getting, rather using a generic picture of each type of animal sporran instead of the actual sporran you are bidding on. A little shady if you ask me. I am satisfied with mine, and honestly can't tell it from the one in the auction listing (I printed mine out in full color for my records) but it is still a shady practice, especially when they make a specific statement in each auction that it is the ctual sporran you will recieve. Maybe they have a farm which clones badgers, red and arctic foxes, and raccoons so they all are identical in appearence.

    Makes one wonder - which of you twisted people have actually given their dog/cat/hamster the moniker "Sporran"?

    Hey, Turpin, could you do it so her ears stuck out as they did in life? I mean this could be a cool sporran.

    I'd try to figure out how to clone her as well.

    I have often thought about getting friend Midnight made into a sporran when he dies. He's been such a good cat that I can't stand the thought of being without him, and to me, that would be a good way to imortalize him. Call me ghoulish or what have you, but I seriously would. He's a beautiful black cat right now, but he's greying. I'd get it done regardless of weather or not he's still a beautiful black in 5 years. Salt and pepper is cool with me as long as he's still around in one way or another.

    Of course you could always use it as a deterrent for "Fluffy" should s/he make a mistake in the House...... Personally I just threaten mine with the Microwave "We'll have "POP" dogs for dinner if you two don't behave!" (Not that they every listen...)

    I think this opens a whole new source for sporran leather...... The Dog Pound!

    I can just hear the dog pound attendant now.....

    "Yes sir, and what type of dog were you looking for?

    **&^%4#@43++*

    "One with short ears and a nice pelt?"

    **%^#@(*%**

    "Oh, and one that isn't all that healthy?"

    **&^%$&^**

    "Well, how about this one?"

    **#$@^^%$**

    "Not the right color?"

    **&$$%#@**

    "It doesn't match your formal tank?"
