So you think you want a German SHEDDER?

Gracie's My Girl · 02-01-2012, 09:16 PM

I was doing my weekly grooming routine this evening. I always clip toenails, clean ears, and of course brush her coat.

I could not believe the amount of hair that came off! I wasn't doing anything unusual. I was using a basic rake and slicker brush. The hair just kept coming and coming! I finally stopped because I couldn't imagine that she was going to have much hair left! However, I am sure that she will have plenty for me next week.

I am such a weirdo that I had to snap a photo.

...who would suspect her of being such a furball?!

You could make an Ozzy out of that! LOL

I LOVE that second picture. It is my new all-time favorite.
I brush Abby almost daily because of that. It's not because I am a great dog owner, it's because I don't want to have to deal with the volume. She does seem to be shedding a little more that usual. Maybe it is global warming?

That picture is incredible. That's alotta hair!

Even the groomer commented that she was knee deep in white dog hair after Scarlett's last "official" grooming. I have to brush her several times a week, but sadly, I can't say that it seems to make any difference in the amount of hair I have inside. I ONLY brush her in the garage.

It seems like she's been on a continuous shed-a-thon this entire winter.
