also worthy of praise...

I go through a vacuum about every 6 months to a year now, since we have 2 big dogs and a big long haired cat. I have to vacuum minimum of twice a day with the hand vac and usually every other day with the big vacuum or it piles up like tumbleweeds.

But then I found...

THE FURMINATOR.

and although I never thought I'd pay that much for a dog brush, I now don't have to vacuum as much, which will hopefully save me money in the long run. Not to mention, its weirdly fascinating to pull half the hair off your dog and still have a dog there. The pictures on the website are not an exaggeration, either. We used it on Nelson tonight, and I seriously wonder if he is measurably lighter in weight because of all that dense fur!

(I doubt it.)

Anyhow. Highly recommended, the furminator.

It was about $35 for a medium sized one, its going on Ebay for much the same price so save the shipping. I can imagine if you have a dog that needs frequent grooming and brushing that this can only save you time in the end. I bought it totally thinking it would never be worth the hype or the price, and figured I would take it back, until it proved me wrong!
