The Fur Flies

By all my calculations, my White German Shepherd, Fritz, should be bald.
In the last few months I have vacuumed up, pulled out and brushed out enough of his fur to stuff a mattress! A king sized mattress at that!
What is it about this boy?

I’ve had shepherds before and although they shed their coats, it was nothing like this! I could vacuum morning and night and still there would be fur bunnies all over the house.
This poor dog has allergies that cause him to sneeze. When he does this, I swear to God, I can see his fur fly! You don’t suppose he is allergic to dog fur, do you?
Even in the winter, when the temperatures dip below zero, the dog is shedding. I’m beginning to think that it will never end. Let me rephrase that, I know it will never end!
Why couldn’t Hubby love those cute little Mexican hairless dogs?

  1. I honestly can’t get over how gorgeous he is!! His coat is just amazing. I don’t much care for the hairless dogs, but I *really* want a hairless cat.

  2. Hi Mom,
    Fritz really is a handsome guy–even if he is shedding all of the time! I guess it’s just one of those things you commit yourself to with pets–your house will never be quite the same! lol
    Have a great day!
    Love,
    Mandy

  3. I feel your pain. I’ve got two long-haired cats, and my short-haired dog is going through his spring shed. Blech.

  4. It must be something in the air – Marley is a lab and she sheds her usual just like you said Fritz normally does but the last 2 weeks have been insane. I took over 10 brush loads of fur off of her. It is all underfur so maybe she is just shedding for summer but it is everywhere along with the pollen in my house!

  5. You mentioned you have learnt knitting again… 🙂

    We have here a woman who is an owner of an Afghan dog (sorry I don´t know the English word for). She knits pullover and clothes.

    Well, isn´t it a nice suggest, is it?!! hihihihi
