A Dyson

Reason #1-100 why I need a better vacuum cleaner.

He looks cute, right? Fluffy? Warm? Happy to be playing in the snow. He enjoys the cold. He spends most of his days and nights out on the unheated porch..............so why oh why does he shed THIS MUCH?!?

Yep. Today Lee combed Toby. It'd been a week since he'd been combed last and this is how much hair we pulled out. Put a head on that ball of hair and it's the size of a small dog or a cat! Yikes.

Somewhere we read, "Australian Shepherds shed copious amounts of hair." I thought to myself.....most dogs shed....copious amounts....whatever. Um this takes shedding to a whole new level. That amount of hair being shed in 20 degree weather! Copious doesn't begin to define it.

And I thought you and I shed a lot. Both of us combined couldn't compete with Toby!

Ewwww! Gross amounts of dog hair! And gross hats in the previous post! It's so funny how guys don't mind their clothes looking so dingy and dirty!

Dear Toby: I miss you! Please save your hair and I will make a pillow out of it. Then I can think of you all the time and be happy.
Love,
