OK, took all six dogs out for a really good brushing this morning. I use the funky rubber brush that you use backwards on the fur, then follow up with a slicker. Left everyone outside so I could defur the house...did the rubber glove threatment and vacummed all the furniture, carpets, etc and then put on a pair of CLEAN socks. Even after a very careful vacumming...you got it, the socks are furry. So, three hours work for basically nothing.
I can ALMOST understand why people are tempted to shave their dogs.....
