HELP!! Ok, that was a bit dramatic, lol, but I need advice. Riley has started shedding so bad I just don't know what to do about it. I brush her everyday and she is getting twice weekly baths, but it is horrible. I'm sweeping up mass amounts of hair off the den floor, and vacuuming it off the carpets, but it's like fighting the never ending battle. I don't remember it being this bad last year. Is there anything else I can do??

Hi War, I don't know where you live, but some of us who live in extreme temps have our dogs shaved (like a lamb cut) in the spring/summer and let the fur grow back out for winter. That way, you avoid a lot of the shedding for spring and the packing on undercoat for winter.

LOL, I live in the desert, where are summer temps top the 100's. Riley's a beagle and her hair is fairly short, but if shaving will help, I'm willing to try! Thanks, Sun.

War, it's the weather changing and the coats were thicker this year because we got colder. Hang in there, it should slow down as soon as you get some warmth. The pups are really losing theirs, too! OMG! I love the pics MGA and Juju! Still trying to figure out HOW the doggy got INTO the dishwasher! LOL

So here's an update on my JRT's skin allergy. After continuing to put the polysporin on his hot spot on the side of his nose, he wouldn't stop scratching at it until it bled, so we resorted to the ... dreaded cone head!!! As you can see below, he was NOT happy with us. But he wore it for two days, then promptly stopped scratching his spot, and he's been fine since.
NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!! But I thought this photo was hysterical. We also put him on a complete lamb/rice diet (no beef, no chicken at all) and started putting a little salmon oil in his kibble. Keeping my fingers crossed that this staves off any future issues. (P.S. -- Wanted to brag a little. I went to the Jack Russell Terrier Association of America site recently, and noticed under their photos area (where they have over 5000 JRT photos), they have a section called "Choice," where they have 50 or so of the webmaster's faves. About a year ago I sent in a few photos of my JRT, and I'm happy to say that I was shocked to discover that my little buddy is #15 under the "choice" photo section! Here's the link: http://www.terrier.com/fun/choicegallery.php3?pic=42 He was a little happier when I snapped this photo!)

Yankee, I love your JRT's expression...it says it all. Gosh, don't they hate those cones anyway?!! Great pic! Thanks for sharing. I have a 6 y/o Dachshund named Oscar and I'm seriously thinking of getting a JRT pup in the future.

Yankee, went to look at the terrier page. Very cute photo. No wonder it mad the top 15! Yes, Spy, Toby is just darling. He looks just like a bean. Oscar is darling too. LOL.

Aww Yankee....Millie feels his pain. Millie only has problems during the summer. In the winter she is "scratch" free so I've ruled out any food allergies as I'm convinced it has more to do with the grass and perhaps weeds in our yard. Of course if I could keep her out of that darn tree....lol. I feel so bad for her in the summer though, she has to get shots and sometimes I have to resort to prednazone for the worst times but as soon as I can I wean her back off of it. It's a daily oatmeal bath and lots of TLC during the hot months. I did find some really good shampoo and conditioning spray called Derm Care. I've tried others but this seems to keep her comfortable as well, could be the tea oil in it. What a great picture!!! His little face looks so much like my baby. Millie is in love! Oscar and Toby look so darn comfortable I'm going to curl up and take a nap myself now.

Yankee, I am glad your JRT is better. He is adorable. I can't abide those collars--I am always so worried about the dog sleeping in an odd position and getting his oxygen cut off. The last time Herc was supposed to wear one, I rigged up an alternative, which involved old towels and duct tape! I could sleep peacefully at night, knowing he was safe.

First pic is Ollie commandeering Maesin's JUST FINISHED quilt. Second is Ollie with the bone and Maggie looking extremely po'd. Notice the tongue sticking out? Third pic is Maggie hoarding her ball in a place she should not have been...the couch!
