I saw the post about vaccuuming issues, and I noticed that many of you have pets. I thought you might be interested...
I have five furry pets in this house - three dogs and two cats - and they ALL shed like crazy. I hate having to vaccuum every day, but you almost have to if you have this many pets. I went to the pet store and complained. A worker, and former groomer, pointed me to this device called the Furminator. it is like a brus/comb combination. it gently strips pets' fur of any loose fur, and it had made a drastic difference in the amount of shedding in my house! I bought mine on sale, but my sister-in-law found it even cheaper online. I think she used amazon.com for hers.
Anyway, for those of you who are sick and tired of vaccuuming, you might want to check this out. By the way, my pets love it!
