Anybody know what this is?
Yep, it's bigfoot hair I gathered off my rug.
NO. Just kidding.
It's a bag full of hair that I brushed off Sultan.
It's so much hair! And Kris had just brushed him not too long ago.
Here's a before and after:

Hah. I'm funny today I know. Obviously this is the same photo. But when I got done collecting all of that hair from him he looked exactly the same! Maybe his back looked a little bit glossier, but that was it.
If you took that much hair off me I'd be bald and then some!
He seems to be shedding more than usual right now. I'm not sure why, since it's actually seeming to cool down out here. Seems to me he should be building up his coat for the winter, but whatever!
Look at my poor carpet:
The vacuum and I are good friends these days.
And my poor jeans:
Hopefully I won't have to stay this hairy all day. We can't find the lint roller thing. Maybe I'll have to ask the vacuum for an extra favor.
Well, that's our Sultan for you. Anybody think I should just shave him?
PS. I forgot my funniest line. I was going to say that if I was Martha Stewart I'd just make a sweater out of all the discarded hair. But I forgot. And I'm not Martha Stewart. So I won't.
But don't worry Mom, we won't really shave him!!!!

I love animals. But not long after josh was born, all of the fur bearing varieties were relegated to the yard. I have no hard feelings toward them. Just no time to clean up messes like that.
And if you do shave him, i really want to see pictures of that.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one covered in animal hair. We shaved our cat, it helped, but he sure looked stupid.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have begun to like the unpredictable tweed-like patina of dog hair that covers every floor in the house. I should - it's only been, what, seventeen years of joyful vacuuming. Used to be an anathema to me, but no more - the advantages of dog-love far outweigh the sad emptiness of a clean house.
And look you Dave, you, whoever you are - you hard-heated heathen. If they do it and take pictures, I will send hate mail to ALL of you!!!!!
you should make a coat!!
Ack! No! Though they would, undoubtedly, be hilarious pictures, a lot of Sultan's indisputable manliness is from his mane! He's like a lion. It just...wouldn't be the same.
To ease your cleaning situation, you COULD just let all the hair build up on your carpet and tell people that you got one of those shag-rugs?
haha, XP blech.
After those pizza skills I'd have thought you WOULD make a sweater.....I'm so disappointed and I believe Sultan will be disappointed too. Here he works so hard giving you all of his hair hoping you'll make him a smashing sweater to keep him warm and you what? Trash it? Nervy of you I think.......:o)
i am sending you a lint roller.
This is the reason I cannot own a dog. They are cute and all, but I can't stand the hair shedding. You are a better person than I.
and this is why i'm so not in a hurry to have a dog...but seeing as how my husband will be greaduating from vet school in 10 months...i should just start looking up dogs that don't shed as much...cause dog hair totally bugs me!
ps you're sense of humor cracks me up...the martha joke...too funny!
ok, you got both my dogs plus 2 cats totally beat in the field of shedding. Amazing.
It seems like you could do something usefull with that much hair. Don't they use hair to help absorb oil slicks? Maybe you could throw some in your dish water to absord the extra grease!:-),
Okay, Lorena and Carie and Rachel totally cracked me up. But i've gotta say, poor Derek - if you think Sull is bad, come sit with us some day when we're doing the aussie and the collie with the furminator. Holy cats - three bags full? Only the beginning of fur collection.
I'd take a loving dog over a clean carpet ANY day. Only, if you're coming over, call first so that I can vacuum - I may not mind it privately, but I'm not going to strut the stuff.
