Yep. Our lab shed enough to build a gerbil on any given day. DH is in charge of brushing her and vacuuming.

On the fly fishing thing, I heard a story in NPR a while back about how one of the suppliers of the poultry feathers they use to make fishing flies said that because of the new fashion of feathers woven into hair, there's actually a shortage for the fly makers.

I wonder if you could start a new fur fly thing. You can call them Fur Flies.
