Two yellow labs, eh?

Don't be foolish. You've put in a lawn before and carpet can be done the same way. You don't need to buy the carpet. Just buy and install the pad and have them spray a coating of medium sticky glue on it.

Within a week, color will appear. In a month, you'll have carpet. It may need to be trimmed if it gets too deep. In your case, it will be yellow lab color. For texture, you can borrow a ridgeback and if you want multicolor, you borrow a German Shepperd.

I am very familiar with golden retriever carpeting.

Kern-

That's nasty, but very funny. I swear everytime I vacuum (alright you caught me) everytime my admiral vacuum's I she has to empty the canister because it's full of hair.

Damn, I love my dogs but can't they clean up there own hair?



Laszlo,

I don't want a black one, my parents have one and when she comes to stay with us I can't get rid of that hair for weeks. Speak of that we get her in less than a month for 2 weeks. Oh yea, they also have a yellow. So 4 labs, 1 house for 2 weeks. I think I should start a reality TV show.

Well, let's talk about that, OK?

Dogs just plain shed. And why they seem to shed more as we go into the colder times of year, I'll never figure out.

But cats shed as well, but they generally take care of it first by licking and swallowing all the hair. Then they have their own little internal trash compactor that takes all the hair and combines it with mouse parts and then dispenses it back up as a present for you to step on as you make your way to the bathroom in the dark of night. No, that doesn't really happen, because even the dead can't sleep through the god-awful sound a cat makes as the gift appears. You know a mine field has been set.

So, given a choice, I'm happier vacuuming up the dog hair. The thought of having to face a grapefruit sized mass of fur and whatever else fell into "dog range" in the last few days is not good. I don't know about your labs, but somehow "dog range" includes every surface in the entire house, including the top of the refrigerator. Try this, put a slice of tomato in the dog bowl. They'll look at you and say "Hey, whazzat? Get it out of the bowl." Remove it carefully from the bowl and wait five minutes. Then, pretend you are fixing a sandwich and drop the same piece of tomato. Be very careful not to drop it too close to your leg, since legs have been lost to the jaws of death going for whatever prize fell from the counter..........
