It's been a long year already, so here's some news that will glue a permanent smile onto your face. You can buy slippers that look identical to your dog. And when I say "identical," I mean literally identical OMG it's almost scary.
The company is called Cuddle Clones, which is how you know it means business. Cuddle Clones will make an actual clone out of your dog's face, but in slipper form so you can wear them around the house and scare yourself a little every time you look down.
It takes two months for Cuddle Clones to deliver just one pair of slippers, because it has to get every little whisker and weird patch of fur just right. Also, the slippers aren't cheap at $199. But an actual clone of your dog would cost $50,000, so when you think about it, isn't this a bargain? You tell me.
Do you want to wear your dog's face on your feet? Maybe just a little bit? So do a lot of other people, apparently, and both the photos and the reviews are downright amazing.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that dog owners must be completely obsessed with their dogs.
Accordingly, the business of making replicas of man's best friend is not a new one. For many over-the-top dog owners, one Fido just isn't enough.
Some pet owners opt to get a portrait, tattoo, or T-shirt with their dog on it.
Others take things SEVERAL steps further by cloning their dogs so that they won't ever have to live without them. And by "others," I mean Barbra Streisand.
Now, though, there's an option somewhere in the middle. Cuddle Clones will make an exact replica of your dog… in slipper form.
I must emphasize that these are slippers and not live clones, because in some of the photos, it's really unclear. They look so real!!!
The slippers are handmade with great delicacy and care. They take approximately eight weeks to arrive at your doorstep, though you can pay extra for an expedited process.
More importantly, Cuddle Clones can customize any pet.
Cat people, I'm sure you are all very excited.
In fact, the company will happily make clones of more unusual pets, too! It doesn't discriminate. Pigs, cats, turtles, your smelly roommate, whatever.
And if you are, for some reason, anti-slipper, you can also order a replica of your pet in the form of a stuffed animal, Christmas ornament, earring (!!), or golf club cover (?!).
I don't know where this company got its technology, but it must be from the future.
Regardless of the animal or product, the company manages to make its replicas look so exactly like your real pet that it's almost frightening.
Thus far, Cuddle Clones has many happy, satisfied customers.
The slippers average 4.93 out of 5 stars from 14 reviewers.
Luckily for you, those customers are happy to share their hilarious and eerie photos on social media.
"We ordered a @cuddleclones of Rebel so that no matter what we can always be reminded of him," said the owner of Rebel, above.
"It came in the other day and I couldn’t be happier. Rebel was a little confused though ❤️."
Indeed, half of the fun of ordering a pair of these slippers would definitely be seeing how your dog reacts. Will they fight, freeze, or flee?
At $199, the slippers are definitely an investment. The company does offer monthly payments, though, if starting a credit line for a pair of dog replica slippers is something that you would like to do.
And if you don't have Barbra Streisand money but you do have Barbra Streisand dog obsessiveness, this might be right up your alley.
When you're ready, Cuddle Clones will be there, waiting to make you a cuddly beheaded clone of your very best friend.
