The down side to having a furry furry furry dog? SHEDDING!
OMG it is driving me insane! Chunks and chunks of hair all over the place! He is getting a good ole brushing right now, but that only helps so much. He probably will get another shaving this summer. He was ugly as I don't know what, but he was happy and so was I.

Pretty dog



OH MY! What did I do to him?

3. I did feel bad for him. I really did. But the hair is an issue especially
now that I have my baby. And he really seemed happier afterwards. We won't go as short this time that is for sure.

2. Yeah, Frankie (dog) and Dino (cat) shed like crazy this time of year.
I'm constantly cleaning up the hair.

5. It is a neverending job! I wore black yesterday and let me tell
you, I went through a whole lint brush almost.

4. Isn't that a skin cancer risk-- shaving a hairy dog?
(And I can commiserate with you on the shedding. My Sonny is shedding like an old throw rug.)

7. I do make sure he doesn't get burned. He didn't get burned at all
last year. We do watch that very very carefully. And we will not go that short this time. I got suckered into that.

8. You could have made a fur king size blanket with what we
just brushed off of him! :o

9. Shoot, my dog isn't even that furry (short-haired beagle/dachshund mix)
and she still sheds like crazy, so I can only imagine what it must be like for you.



:hi:

10. Sometimes the short stuff is worse. I also have mini-pin and her
hair is almost as bad. It just doesn't come off in clumps! :)
