[nagdu] Dealing with dog hair

[Rebecca Ilniski]

I wonder if yellow lab shed more than black labs?The sticky lint roller's are definitely my friends. If I could buy them in bulk I would. Or use one all the time while I'm out and it work.

Thanks, all. I'll have to make friends with the lint roller. He's always been a pretty serious shedder. This year is the worst I've seen though.

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.
