    Shes molting!

     Literally. Tootsie was walking today, in the living room and a clump of hair fell out of her "pantaloons". Actually, her entire back end is a series of clumps. So I think this weekend we'll be making a trip to the groomers.

     Ah yes, I remember this well with my Toby. A shedding blade and flea comb were godsends. I actually picked them out quite a bit too, it never stooooopped.o.o

    oooohhhhhhhhhhh the MOstlie Sheltie used to do that one to me -- the "clumping" coat blowing LOL 

    I miss it to be honest.  I really do.  *sigh*

     Tootsie, doesn't have fleas.So the flea comb is not needed.

     My dogs don't have fleas either, but I have a flea comb - the close tines really work well for removing dead undercoat!  With two cattle dog mixes and a cattle dog foster, clumping undercoat is a regular thing here. :)

    Bailey doesn't have fleas either, but I use a flea comb on him all the time & it works great on the thick long hair on his neck.

    I used to hate this time of year with my husky shepherd mix. I could quite literally fill up a garbage bag with the amount of hair that I would brush out of her when she would blow her undercoat in the spring.

    Oh no I know, I meant I used fine toothed combs on Toby to get some of the hair out.

     I know what you meant. I have a comb very similar to a flea comb, that I use. If you've ever owned a Corgi, it does not stop coming ever.
