I've been owned by Huskies for 20+ years and I am certain that I still have a few strands of fur from the very first one somewhere. The best thing is when people ask me if my dog sheds.... have you seen him?? 😂😂😂
Soooo relatable! I have a beautiful black mouth cur named Laura Lee with short hair that threads its way into everything!! Wouldn't trade it for anything!
For all the information I read about pugs, prior to Ivy coming into our home, either all information was redacted or I glazed over when reading that shedding is a superpower. I am so sparkly! EVERYDAY!
My daughter lives for her Christmas stocking and the rolls of sticky tape nestled in with the socks and gum! We live simple lives but full of dogs and cats!
Actually they're all impossible to resist. It's the eyes.
Both my girls had been abandoned and looked a mess. One was all bones and had lost most of her hair because of severe malnutrition. The other was in good health but her hair had been so badly maintained that we had to chop it all back and start again.
Couldn't have called either a beauty back then, but both had these big melting eyes that just called to you...
Those are the ones you almost want more because maybe not everyone can see past the surface. Puppies always get adopted but the mangey ones, not so much. I'm glad they found you ❤️❤️❤️
One was from a shelter, and yes the poor girl had been overlooked for six months apparently, probably cos so many people just want cute or pretty 😞. The other was rescued from a highway by a friend, but it was like we were lost soulmates - from the very first, she insisted on climbing into bed and curling up with me, and she never left ☺️.
Once they recovered, both turned into the most gorgeous, charming gals - everyone wanted to bring home then ...
One of Nora's nicest features is that she barely sheds. Lest you think that means we are exempt from furnados, our cat Bandit — who has a short coat that SHOULD stay put but nobody told him that — more than makes up for her. We go through sticky rollers like sushi chefs go through rice.
This was so heartwarming. Sorry to Mark for his loss. Glad he has a new buddy.
Apollo is a Springer and former show dog. His handler spent hours grooming him. When we adopted him his long fur would attract every bramble and thistle. I wanted him to be able to run around without bringing back a blackberry bush complete with thorns. No more long hair for Apollo. He gets a “puppy cut” at the groomers every 6 weeks. He can roam the property without attracting detritus and another perk— his shedding is minimal.
Next post should be about drool and the car windows I can’t see out of because of the dried, smeared drool. Hehe.
OMG the drool!!! My back two windows are opaque at best 🤣🤣 And there is a constant splattering of it running down the outside of my car below her windows. I often wonder what other people wonder about the grossness of the splatter running down the the side of my car.
Good lord, i knew i had to comment when I saw the title of your article. You did a great job too. Some 🤔 how, although I personally do not own a dog, nor has there ever been a dog in my 3 yr old Hyundai Tucson, the carpet is full of PUG glitter and Shepherd/redheeler mix fur. How do I know this? I love to visit my 2 nephews ( pug and pug mix) and I occasionally dog sit forthe Shepherd mix where I see those tumble furs roll down the hall.
As far as I can tell, my nephpug and brother must have taken my keys and blew out their daily quantity of glitter many times while I have been otherwise occupied. I will eventually figure out how to get their short undercoat glitter out of the car. 😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️
For fun, I work part-time as a scheduler for a house-cleaning company. We call the dog hair "glitter" instead of sparkles. I cannot tell you the number of times a client has said "you can't clean that room" or "don't touch that chair" because that was their "dog-spot" and said dog is now across the rainbow bridge.
Sometimes, when my house-cleaner comes and asks me what I want her to focus on today, all I say is "two words: corgi-glitter" and she knows the drill.
One? Only one? Blimey I’m a failure at pet hair removal!
The other day, I looked down at my jeans and from the knee down I appeared to be sporting what looked like a pair of very attractive furry leg warmers!!
(This furry fashion statement happened because my back has been playing up restricting my ability to remove fur below the knee and that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it! 😉)
Let's not forget about the fluffy piles of dog hair that accumulates along the edge of a room. Rolls along like little tumble weeds, especially when I turn on a floor fan...
What a wonderful article Kristi - and a reminder to be careful what I say in private messages 🙈😳🎉🤣🤣🕺🏻 - I'm still a little way off from being ready for a new 'bundle of joy' but love living vicariously, so thank you 😗
We still smile when we find hair from a long lost dog. BrynleyMay died so many years ago yet occasionally I'll move a piece of furniture that doesn't really get moved and there's a little bit of him jammed in the corner. It's getting less and less and I yearn for it more than I thought possible
We still get a pang too whenever we spot stray strands from our furkid. And remember how we used to stroke her gently, running our fingers through that silky hair.
They are bitter sweet moments, but more sweet than bitter as the years go on. There's also the teasing about me and housework not being the best of friends! Heehee! Cos we're not!

Ooooh the threading lol. My car seats are blessed with the threading 😂

LOL you’re not the first pug owner I’ve heard that from!

Ha!! So you know what i mean!! 😁
Love the pic of Dezi at 8 weeks! Such a beauty ☺️
How could I have resisted 😊❤️

Love at first sight 😝

Best comparison ever lol. We are supporting the sticky roller industry single-handedly 🤣
We should buy stock in Sticky Roller Inc (if it exists).
HA! My retirement investments 😂

It’s a bitch getting dog hair out of car fibers isn’t it!! I would suck as a murderer because I don’t have the patience for tedious fiber cleaning 😂
Yeah, just hell yeah.

Aww that's so sad about the special spots 😢
And we have a sticky roller hanger-upper called the pet glitter removal station 😁
That dog hammock looks SO much better than the one I have. Thanks for the tip, Kristi!
You're welcome!! And it IS so much better! It might be double the price but it was so worth it.
“That one stray hair on your thigh”
One? Only one? Blimey I’m a failure at pet hair removal!
The other day, I looked down at my jeans and from the knee down I appeared to be sporting what looked like a pair of very attractive furry leg warmers!!
(This furry fashion statement happened because my back has been playing up restricting my ability to remove fur below the knee and that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it! 😉)
Lol at the leg warmers 😆 Mine look like dirty legwarmers. It's incredible how much dust is attached to her fur.
Let's not forget about the fluffy piles of dog hair that accumulates along the edge of a room. Rolls along like little tumble weeds, especially when I turn on a floor fan...
😆😆 Robin, I literally just mentioned the tumbleweeds in another response! Yes...those!
It's always nice to see something in a different light--or in this case, in a different cloud of dog hair...
Lol or a different floating tumbleweed of hair 🤣
What a wonderful article Kristi - and a reminder to be careful what I say in private messages 🙈😳🎉🤣🤣🕺🏻 - I'm still a little way off from being ready for a new 'bundle of joy' but love living vicariously, so thank you 😗
Haha don't worry, I'll never spill your big secrets 😆
Thanks for the inspiration to write this!

Awwww I'm sorry 😞 I hate that we inevitably have to go through this as dog parents. But I hope those little treasures make you smile 😊
