ok..let's talk about this vacuuming thing. I vacuum every other day and I'm still fighting a losing battle. It's my fault for making Maggie an inside dog, but dang..... Any suggestions, NG, Audie, RO? I'm thinkin' of shavin' Maggie for the summer--I can't take it anymore!!!

i have no words of wisdom, sorry ! i kept dory in a "puppy cut" with hair about 1 1/2 inches long in summer and still got hair by the handfuls.... not to mention on the spring and fall when her undercoat was shed so it could come in thinner or thicker depending on the season - we had clumps of hair the size of a poodle all over.....man i miss that ....

one piece of advice - don't waste your money on the dyson sweeper for pet hair - it's no better than any other...

It is loosing battle and like Audie said, no magic cure. I walk through the house picking up hair balls in the corners, but they are worth it. Doing the medium cut before summer helps as the undercoat starts to shed. It just depends on if you like the shorter hair... I did that the last two years with Belle because the grooming was hard on her as she got older. My young ones (they are 2 now) get de-shedded every six weeks so I can keep the hair long, but even with that it is still a nightmare around here

Get a golden, they don't shed much. Or maybe we just can't see the hair on the hardwood floors

Allifunn....we are scary?

Yes, you know you are owned by a dog if you can sell yourself on thinking of dog hair as a condiment, rather than getting freaked out.

my clothes were always covered with 8 inch long white dog hairs, i used to put them on the guys' shirts at work to see if their wives noticed the long hair when they did laundry.....
