Bailey is not entirely sold on the “slippy” sensation of the water-resistant canvas in his travel zone….
I’ve recommitted to trying to keep the interior of the car clean(er)….after the two hours that I spent vacuuming Bailey’s fur out of my car. Even though he rides in the cargo area, the fur-nadoes had breached the front seat this week, swirling around my head whenever the windows were open.
My seat….temporarily free of fur (and coffee stains, melted chocolate, and sunscreen)
The AKC logo is a completely unnecessary embellishment, but the liner was the right size (and the right price…$9.99) at Home Goods. It makes Bailey giggle.
Less than 24 hours later, Bailey has again in-fur-trated the car…highlighting once again, that love knows no color (and overlooks compulsions)….the only way that I can explain my almost exclusively black wardrobe, black car interior, and WHITE, heavy-shedding dog. Go figure.
squirrel circus 
totally get that…for soME reason i think snowy loves me more when im wearing black,.. he wont let go me at the end when he does my black becomes white…but i love him anyway 😀
I know! I think I just become hyper aware of the fur, when I’m already wearing black. I have, like, two favorite pair of yoga capris that are nylon and don’t seem to “grab” the hair as much — easy to brush off — they’re my go-to pants now!
I had the exact same problem with my Dalmation (they shed year round). Years later, I’m still finding her fur.
I am AMAZED at how fast the hair “returned” to the car. Ah well. love him too much to let it bother me ALL that much 😉
in-fur-trated? ha!
🙂
I can’t believe the price for that, really great price. I know what you mean when you put the windows down & all this fur starts flying in your face. Last summer Lola was getting really horrible hot spots so I bought her this cooling bed. You fill it with water & they’re supposed to lay down on it & chill. Nuh uh…no way was Lola stepping on that thing! I put treats on it, her bear, a sheet…heck I sat on it for a while (felt pretty good to me). Each of my Berners had “issues” with anything slippery. Finally gave it away to the vet.
Yeah…you could store that with the doggie swimming pool that Bailey has NEVER set foot in. We could initially (two years ago) get him to walk THROUGH it really quickly, if we held a treat over it. 😉
When Lola was a puppy we got her one of those plastic pools & she worked out this soccer game that was a riot. Actually after Lola got at the ball it lost a little air & was more of a bladder ball but we’d kick it, she’d grab it, run with it to the pool, drop it right before the pool, jump through the pool, back through, pick up the ball & bring it back. It was the funniest thing to watch since she was the only one who knew all the rules to this game. Then we couldn’t find any stores that carried the hard plastic pool, just inflatables… Guess how long those lasted. But some dogs are water dogs & some just aren’t. Guess Bailey doesn’t do water so he must not have any duck hunting genes.
Ha! Ours is plastic. If it wouldn’t cost a fortune to ship, I’d SEND it to you. Next time I’m in New England, I guess…… 😉
Bring Bailey, let’s see if he can figure out the rules to this soccer game.
Be careful what you ask for….Bailey just might teach Lola his “running of the beds” game!!!
Rut ro…John would just love that game. Once a week John gets Lola one of those bully sticks & she’s very very protective of it. She grabs it & goes off to hide or sometimes takes it to the family room & eats it whilst sitting on the love seat. Until John comes along. I love it though because each time he’ll say “what are you doing on there!!!” And she’ll look around like huh? what? I have no idea how I even got up here, nor do I know who gooped up the love seat w/this chewy. My friend Harry (Lola’s sitter) always says – kids & dogs should all have lawyers.
Right. Be really cute AND have lawyers. They can beat any rap!
We have two pet rabbits and they’re shedding, so I have some sympathy.
But my surprise with the flying debris came when I had a bale of hay sitting on blankets in the back seat of the car and I rolled my windows down. Stems started flying everywhere! My clothes made me look like a hayseed.
Not that the rabbits noticed when I got home with their next round of feed and bedding. Ah, how much we endure for our critters!
Too true! I would not have believed a few years ago that I would regularly wake up with a nose-ful of dog hair or have it blowing around the car every day. I’m chuckling, envisioning the hay swirling about you — I bet the rabbits did say to each other, “I guess he rolled around in it a bit before bringing it home – hee hee!”
Thanks for reading!
