    Smile I can hear them laughing at me

    -a sunny day, came home from the gym, and noticed all the dust bunnies all over the floor. Swept, vacumed, ran the dry dust mop , dusted and when I turned around there were three fresh dust bunnies, in the middle of the floor. none of the animals had moved or created any fresh fur. I swear I could hear them all, animals and dust bunnies laughing at me. Must be getting close to spring, let's us blow our fur coats all over the house for days on end.

    I feel your pain.
    When spring starts and the golden retriever starts shedding we find "Jimbo tufts" all over the yard and house. It's like cotton balls blowing all around.

    shakes my fist at the dust bunnies and fur tumbleweeds...

    Living with a Black Lab, I have realized I need to accept dust bunnies as a part of life. Sometimes I even see small clumps on her that just come right out! I did purchase a rake-like comb that is awesome for getting the loose undercoat out.

    +1! Those "Furminator-type" rakes are the best! My dog hates it though....

    The dust bunnies at our house unionized a long time ago, and they got a pretty good contract. It's really hard to get rid of them now and out of solidarity I wouldn't want to do that anyway.

    Well, when the bathtub ring starts refusing to cross the picket line is where I re-examine my politics.

    Our yellow lab sheds enough to build a guinea pig most days. I don't know where she's getting all this extra fur. DH brushed her and vacuumed yesterday and I swear it looks like a wookie in our trash can this morning.
