Hi All, Just thought I'd let everyone know of a cool little tip that I've found works really well during shedding time...(I don't get new ideas often, so here goes:) If your guys are shedding heavily like mine are right now, I've found a great product to get up hair off the hammocks in between the weekly washings, I just use it each night when I do litter boxes. There is a dense, yellow sponge on the market for picking up pet hair, you can find it in almost every pet store, and if you rub it across the hammocks and sleep sacks, they come up hair free as the sponge quickly balls up all the little hairs and then you pick the globs off the sponge. Boy does a lot of hair come off!! This way, your babies may be ingesting a little less of it too...and your hammocks won't look like they are fur-lined in between washings!! BTW, thanks Bryan for having all three of my babies up on the MAff Halloween Frolic site...for anyone that's interested, Ralphie is the one chasing the RC car, and there is a close-up of the little sable with the white blotch on his face. For some strange reason, he is the one who decided that it should be summer now and lost all of his coat and weight! He even had to prove it by swimming in the lake at the frolic while we were there! Goofy boy! The DEW is Nick and the two little girls kissing in the blue bag....the silver blaze wannabe is our Whitty! I was so excited to see them "on the web"!! Thanks bunches!!!! Michele & the 8-iz enuff gang... Ralphie says he vants his own dressing room now so he can be ALONE......hmpphhh!!! [Posted in FML issue 2853]
