    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

All these dogs are supplying my home with a considerable amount ot dog hair, especially the back room where 3 of the 4 sleep.
I am planning on putting several large HEPA filters throughout the house, my Vornadoes finally bit the dust so I more Vornadoes plus several others too (I have birds as well, and there is bird dust to cope with also).

I vacuum their room daily but there is still a lot of hair, I think I need to take them outdoors and brush them more often.

What do y'all do to cope with the dog hair inside your home?

:rotflmao: you almost have to!

I was at Petco today and found this "pet hair magnet" rubber-type thing..... I just use those sticky roller things......

doesn't Sharper Image's Ionic Breeze have a built in HEPA filter? Perhaps I should try that......... Lucille, what are vornadoes?
 
Vornado is a brand name of HEPA air purifier. Consumer reports rates them fairly well and I have had them for years: the are reasonably priced, and do a good job. As well as 2 Vornadoes, I have a Panasonic, a Kenmore, and a Sun-Pure and a couple ionizer cleaners.
 
Sweep, sweep, sweep. All day, every day. And the tumbleweeds still keep coming. The aussie sheds 365, he has no season where he just blows coat like some of the others. But he is kind enough to pick up a tumbleweed or so every once in a while if he can't find something else to clean up. Everyone in my family knows when I give them a present without reading the card because there is a little extra from Jango with every gift. Add birds, a calico who sheds like a fiend also, the substrate from the lizards and there is more debris on my floors than there is in my yard. But I don't worry too much about it, everyone expects it when they come to my house.
 
My little girl Abigail (All 125+ pounds of her) has allergies and has been shedding consistently for going on two years. She also has the thickest undercoat I have ever seen. When I take her outside and rake her it looks as if someone blew up a pillow. (the birds around here have the warmest nests though) I have come to grips that as long as I have her I will have hair all over the place for at least 2 years after she is gone.
 
The birds just love my yard as well. Before and after baths they get brushed outside and the yard is nothing but hair! I can't get enough birds to come and take it away fast enough. I'm just waiting for my neighbors to complain about the hair flying around, but it just cracks me up when I see it flying around the neighborhood. But what else are you going to do with 5 dogs shedding everywhere?!
