Cortez's coat is perfect right now- it is a thick carpet that one can bury their fingers in and have to dig to find fur. Someone the other day commented that he looked fatter. I put on his collar and suddenly you could see how the deep the fur on his neck is. He is virtually waterproof. I just love it.<BR/><BR/>Come spring, it is frightening. We too had to purchase a Dyson vacuum cleaner and I take him to Pet Smart for one or two major groomings. They take pictures to post on their wall to show how much fur they can get off a dog. But then, he looks transformed into this sleek, lean machine of muscle which too, is its own beauty.<BR/><BR/>The fall blowout is not too bad usually since the summers are pretty warm, but the spring- get ready. His fur will be your fur- everywhere!The Shibahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07880238307113910920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849890346707089331.post-13236849506169324772008-12-26T23:03:00.000-05:002008-12-26T23:03:00.000-05:00Wait until one of the many DC shedding seasons...W...Wait until one of the many DC shedding seasons...We had to get a Dyson vacuum just to battle the fur!shiba1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09669814389461186795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849890346707089331.post-85955943481302100222008-12-22T01:27:00.000-05:002008-12-22T01:27:00.000-05:00My shiba (Maro is my shiba's name :-)) started she...My shiba (Maro is my shiba's name :-)) started shedding his undercoat last Sept and he is still shedding now (We live in Seattle)! I bought a Roomba, which has been helping me a lot for everyday cleaning. Before getting one, vacuming was the fisrt thing I had to do after I came home from work, which wasn't fun at all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849890346707089331.post-84391355725990058762008-12-21T10:57:00.000-05:002008-12-21T10:57:00.000-05:00Yes, it will be worse, sorry to say.

Come spring, the house is full of his hair for several weeks.<BR/><BR/>But the fluffiness is cool, isn't it!Peter Blitsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931305202733221008noreply@blogger.com
