Labrador Crafts Many useful and beautiful craft items can be made from the leftover parts of your freshly slaughtered labrador dogs.  I particularly enjoy the tails of yellow labradors, which make excellent dusters.

Dog Hair Sweaters For those of us who enjoy knitting, it is a matter of simplicity to convert your fresh labrador hide into a lovely sweater, hat, or scarf.  Simply pull the fur from the skin, spin into thread, and knit using your favorite method and pattern. Dog's-Ear Changepurse Most of us are familiar with the old "sow's ear" purse that our great-grandmothers once carried.  Now, in the spirit of nostalgia, you can make a modern version.  First, trim two ears from a Labrador dog (for variety, you can select dogs of different colors).  Next, lay them one on top of the other, inside out.  Sew along the edges, leaving the widest part unsewn.  Turn the item inside out, and you have an excellent changepurse!  For trimming, you can select a drawstring (wind it in and out of the skin at the open end) or all sorts of decorative ribbons, buttons, or bows. The great thing about this project is, you don't have to kill the Labrador to make it!  Labrador meat is always best fresh, so you don't want to unnecessarily slaughter too early.

Balloons for the Kids Labrador bladders, when thoroughly cleaned and inflated, make exceptionally tough and entertaining balloons for the children to play with.  Make sure to tie the top and bottom in a secure knot! Labra-rope Going hiking, and out of rope?  What about stringing a new clothesline along the house?  As an excellent substitution for more modern, inferior synthetic fibers, you can use twisted Labrador entrails for a line.  Simply double the intestine, twist along the length from one end to the other, and allow the intestine to curl up on itself from the middle upward.  What you have then is a very strong, flexible rope.  Be careful, though--it can stretch or shrink if it gets wet.
