Dog Hair?
| Dog hair you may ask? Yes, we have dog hair. When you have dogs, you have dog hair. Sometimes it seems like it's everywhere. So, what do we do about it. First, don't forget the vacuum. I know, i hate vacuuming also. Vacuum as often as you can to help with getting the dog hair up and out at least weekly. Don't forget to change the vacuum bags often. We use throws on chairs that the dogs lay on.This helps a lot with controlling not only the hair but it helps with any left behind smells. Wash the throws often at least 2 times a week. We use "Scotch Fur Fighters" and "Pledge" hair pick up rollers for spot pick up areas. They work well, they are easy and fast to use. Dog Baths are a must. A bath helps remove loose hair and keeps the loose hair at a minimum. A clean smelling dog helps with stopping and spreading of bad oder's. Don't forget that brushing your dogs coat helps with removing the loose hair. Can't say we do this one a lot. But, it does help when you have the time to do it. That's about it on the dog hair stuff. I gotta go for now and get back to cleaning up dog hair... |
Road Trip...
| Today's weather in the 30ish range but thank goodness no wind. So i put on my big coat and had some errands to run. While out i went by our local vets office. They have some interesting oder candles burning in the office. Smelled good but i noticed they were about $9.00 a jar. Not sure i trust having candles burning around the house. Buster is out of his heart worm pills. Got a 6 month re-fill for him which came to $48.00. This will get him back on the same schedule as the rest of the dogs. So...when june comes around all dogs will need re-fills on their medicine. We might want to think about start saving now...or maybe a dog medicine loan... Can't wait to see that bill... Got a print out of all of the dogs upcoming needs for 2011. Looks like we are good for now but shots are coming due in a few months. I tried to say hello to a big german shepard that was sitting patiently awaiting his bill. I should of known better, that didn't go well at all. As he turned and looked at me, i said "hello". He started barking immediately. Good thing we were the only ones in the office at the time. The owner looked over and said "he does that all the time, good watch dog". Just then a FedEx driver pulled up and walked in. The real barking and pulling started then. Got to admit, i didn't feel so bad when i watched the dog go nuts over the driver. |
