For those of you who are first time "blow out season" people - welcome to our World.
As they say. The blow out happens only twice a year. March through September. And September through March.
It's not all that bad once you get used to it. Evening brushings are as much a part of my day as waking in the morning. It's also a great bonding experience. My Guys absolutely love being groomed. Your's will too.
Save that fur! If you aren't going to use it yourselves for spinning and such, there are a lot of people out there who would love to have it. (The clean brushings that is. No matted & dirty stuff.) Place an add in the paper and just watch the responce. If you can find some completed projects, you will see how truely lovely they are. Chances are that you'll want to do some yourself.
Now I must go to town. I'm buying new area rugs. Needless to say - they will be of a light color. Shall we say - "blendable"?
