I have no idea, but that was a cute video

Only if you don't live with it, LOL.

I'm going to just have a friend hem the pants.

good call on keeping the pants and hemming them.

That video is HILARIOUS! We have a golden retriever and it's the same thing. I take him outside and brush him and his hair litters our yard like snow. It naturally comes out in puffs/clumps. We call them Jimbo puffs.
I love my animals- I hate their shedding. At least when I shed (skin, etc) I don't have to see it everywhere- if I did I'd probably be oooged out.
I gave up trying to "roller" the hair off my clothes years ago...

One of my best friend has a husky (until recently, had two) whose coat does that, too. Sometimes, a vigorous petting can result in a handful of white tufty "husky feathers." His side yard gets covered with them when it's brushing time. We often joke that I should gather them up and felt them into little mini-huskies.

seriously- all that dog fur/hair going to waste. We should string it into yarn and sell it as coats or something.

It's like mucous- I always said that if it were a marketable commodity I'd be a billionaire- same thing with shed dog hair.

I saw mittens and headbands made of dog hair spun into yarn and then knitted...

that's hilarious! I would not be able to breathe (I'm allergic to dogs- even my own), but that's great! Put that waste to good use- it's a renewable resource!

my cat sheds like crazy, so one day my boyfriend said I should tie a fly with his fur. I did, and lo and behold, the fish took it!

(note: I catch and release so I fish with barbless hooks).

that is AWESOME! I think you just found your million-dollar idea! DIY dog/cat hair fly fishing bait kits.

By the way, catch and release is extremely stressful on fish - especially in areas that are heavily fished. Takes a fish 24 hrs to recover from being caught just once, and if they get caught again, then the stress hormones keep rising until they die. The lovely things one learns when working for a fish physiologist.
Also learned that trout are stupid, especially hatchery raised ones. I could chum in rainbows just by pretending I was throwing feed over a pond. Or by tossing some pebbles

We have neighbors with several huskies and malamutes--they train them as sled dogs. You can always tell when they've taken them for walks on the nearby rail-trail...it is littered with gobs of hair! We have a long-haired cat who sheds like that, but he's much smaller than a dog, so it's still a more manageable quantity of hair poofs.

I feel your pain. I have two Collies; when they are blowing coat, it's amazing how much they can shed and still have plenty of fur left... And they always seem to know when I'm wearing new slacks. We should own stock in lint rollers.
