anyone seen Dudley?

while we were gone last weekend, I asked The Musical One and Miss L to wash the short dogs. Abby was looking a bit like Harry the Dirty Dog again. They washed them Sunday morning. By the time we got home, Dudley looked like he was molting. So, I took him out into the front lawn and brushed him. He laid nicely on his side so I could brush and let me finish one side before he got up, rolled and laid on his other side. there are the two piles of hair I brushed off him. I think it's enough hair that there can't be anything left of him. If he was long haired I'd save it and send it off for spinning, but he's not. He is however really soft so I've thought about needle felting his fur into a mini-dudley toy. but
Oh look - there he is. laying on the lawn and he's not even really thinner - he just doesn't have tufts of hair trying to jump off his body now.

  2. Sadie molts in clumps too. Hubband says she looks like a "ripe cattail."

  3. We love Harry the Dirty Dog here! I think its a riot that you compared Abby to him. A Dudley toy would be great, although wouldn't the tall dogs be the only ones to play with it?

  4. Would you come comb Tsar? He's walking around with big clumps hanging off him. When he stands up he leaves clumps behind. We call them Tsar's mice.

  5. That's a lot of tufts! Bet he feels better now.

  6. Those houndies shed so much it looks like snow in the grass. Steve calls it dethatching. Looks like you need a furminator. It works on my big dogs but works even better on Beau.

  7. Fred did the same. It's that dense basset undercoat. Sissy doesn't have one, so there's no massive molting at our house this year...

  8. One of our cats will shed like that. We brush and brush and it ends up looking like another cat in the floor. lol

  9. Oh, I want to hug and cuddle him! So cute. I love the way you say "tufts of hair that are trying to jump off of him" that happens to Gracie too!
