[nagdu] Dealing with dog hair

[The Pawpower Pack]

The sweater-type fabrics, seem to be like fur magnates.  If I'm going to wear a sweater, I leave the house, then get out my trusty sticky tape lind roller doohicky and furminate myself, because with that kind of fabric, it doesn't matter what you do, you will attract fur.

I don't know how many dogs would stand to be vacuumed.  I just used the hose attachment with no brush on it.  Brush first to loosen hair, then a quick vacuum to pull out all the loosened hair and we'd be good for about a day! *smile*

Perhaps a bit of humidity in the air would help keep the hair from floating all over and sticking to fabrics?  I don't know, I'm just guessing here.  The winter months do seem to be worse for hair everywhere.
