Hair of the Dogs
Think shorthaired dogs are tidier around the house than longhair breeds? Think again.
With the Summer Solstice, my faithful Dobies Ramses (left) and Isis have entered yet another season of massive shedding. Only a day ago I vacuumed the house top to bottom. Today I thought a quick follow-up sweep with a broom might be in order. (Thankfully, all my floors are hardwood, making this a relatively easy task.)
I started upstairs and diligently swept my way down. When done, I was startled by the realization that there was enough animal hair to build a small Chihuahua. As disgusting as that is, however, it’s not half as bad as the actual possum carcass Isis dragged in through the doggie door last week.
Oh, the joys of pet ownership!
