[nagdu] Dealing with dog hair

[Applebutter Hill]

You can make a cheap lint brush by covering anything handy (block of wood,
old brush handle, etc.) with masking tape. Brush your clothes, remove tape
and throw away, and repeat next time. Once a day vacuuming was what I did
when I had my half Lab, half Goldens, who were the big shedders. There's
always going to be hair though. *grin*

Hi, all.

My partner and I each have a guide dog. Hers is a yellow lab who sheds in
huge clumps. My black lab sheds some too, but not as much. We have a crazy
amount of fur in our house and on our clothing. I use a Dyson pet model
vacuum as much as three times a week. Both dogs are groomed regularly, but
the hair just keeps coming. I'm wondering what the rest of you do to deal
with large amounts of fur.

I went with my mother to urgent care last week. My coat, which always hangs
in the front closet was covered in light-colored fur. When we got into the
building and I took my coat off, my mother flipped out. She asked me why
there was so much fur on my black sweater. I told her that I didn't know.
I'd put the sweater on about an hour before I left with her, and an hour
doesn't seem long enough for that amount of fur to stick to the sweater,
especially since my partner's dog doesn't snuggle with me or anything like
that.

Obviously, when you have dogs, a certain amount of fur is involved, but I
don't want to go out in public covered in dog fur. I'd appreciate any
suggestions any of you might be able to offer.
