[NAGDU] grooming dogs in a big city and Leader Latin class

[Becky Frankeberger]

 Damp paper towels gets the hair out of the washer, after shaking then washing the sheet. A sheet works a little better then a blanket. There is less chance the hair will stick on the sheet.

Warmly,
Becky .

Now that I have a balcony I just grew my dog there if the weather is nice and like you, sweeping or vacuuming every once in a while. If it is disgusting out I will just screw her inside and not worry about it because she doesn’t have long hair and most of the hair goes in the brush anyway which can be cleaned. I don’t think putting down a sheet is a really bad idea if you are concerned about getting hair all over the floor which it sounds like she is. She will need to be careful though because if she is sharing laundry facilities with other tenants they may complain about dog hair in the washing machines if she washes her sheet in there after grooming. She may be better off just grooming on the floor and cleaning it up with a swiffer or vacuuming. If she’s that concerned…
