Jasper, congrats on your new addition to the family. Oscar is a great name bty. That is so cool that you get to bring him to work.

Hudson is going to have to stay another night at the vet hospital. His white blood cells are high. Yesterday he was running a fever of 104 and was dehydrated. He is on antibiotics and IV. They are running more tests as I type this. I will keep everybody informed and thank you to Cher for worrying about Hudson, she is a sweetheart.

Oh, Jasper, Oscar is gorgeous!! What a face! What a doll!

Suits, if your puppy IS a puppy, I'd call the vet. Just to be on the safe side and give you some piece of mind. Ours shed quite a bit and they make their own fur bunnies if we don't stay on top of them.

I imagine that dogs are starting to lose their thick winter coats and that may explain some of the fur/hair Suits. But, animals with fur/hair shed and there isn't much you can do but keep up with it as you are.

As far as dealing with it with my cat, I have a lot of these:

Suits, I have a dog that sheds terribly all year long, but worse in the summer. You can brush her for hours and it never lets up, I even vacuum her with an attachment. She's about to turn 10 and I've just been doing the best I can all this time. Recently, a friend gave me a tool that works SO much better than a brush. I wish I'd known about it years ago. It has the words
Shed'n Blade" on it with a trademark. I've never seen one of these or heard of it before. The hair flies around the room a bit, but I then use the blade on the carpet (not too rough though, I don't want to snag the carpet) before I vacuum. Profuse quantities of hair come out of her. It goes so fast too, because with the brush, I can only do 2 or 3 strokes before I have to clean the brush out. Needless to say, our family (mostly me) has spent hours brushing and vacuuming this dog (and the house) over the years. This is a huge timesaver for me.

Maybe someone else mentioned this earlier in the thread. I didn't read much of it. Anyway, to see a pic of it, go to www.jbpet.com. Under grooming tools, there is a section of strippers and shedding blades. The kind I have is in the close out section.

Good luck!

That's hilarious Half.

Yea, I'm an Aunt. I wish I could think of a perfect name but it's hard without knowing her personality. I looked up Spanish names and I like Lola and Nina.

great suggestions, everyone! lol, i knew that juju would be suggested. :-) i kinda like lola...and i had thought about trixie, too.

right now, i'm thinking about naming her whiney-butt...lol, j/k! i'll keep you all posted!

eggie, it's my sister's fault. see the facts thread for a blow-by-blow on how i ended up with the little sweetie. and i picked up some film tonight...so you can bet there will be pictures soon!

on keeping her hid...only s'posed to have one animal here, she's so lil, though, she doesn't count as another one. lol. i have ways to justify it.

the poor cat is still trying to figure out what the hell is going on. :-)

And as for the cat, that's why she's a whiney butt...she's scared sh*tless....hahahaha! Wellll???...wouldn't you be too if this huge furball with whiskers, glaring eyes, TEETH and sharp claws is sending you ESP "just wait til we're alone" messages!!

oh, i won't be leaving them alone together for a long time i'm sure.

the whiney butt comes from wanting to be held! i had to leave her in the kennel when i went to the store. poor lil thing. she's just as sweet as can been. all she's done besides whine is sleep. lol, oh, and she got a bath, too. they sure are cold a lot.

I like Caliente for a mexican name. I THINK it means spicy?

I used to work at Chi-Chi's mexican restaurant when I was younger. Apparently, the founder named the restaurant after his wife's boobies. Chichi's are boobies. LOL.

Jbean, you now need to shop for one of those doggie bags that lets you carry your dog around while shopping! Here in Vancouver they are quite common. LOL.
