| I really don't like the furminator. I just can't see it as a good for their coat. But to each their own I guess. I also like the zoom groom for Siku's shorter coat. It works on Elara too, but not as well since her coat is a bit longer. And of course my long pin pin brush. Oh and I can't wait! I'm getting a HV drier in about a week! So excited! It was my payment (plus a big tool box I'm going to use for dog grooming stuff) for laying down sod for two days. That was torture! |

| It's starting AGAIN!?! Sabaka just finished his first real blow. I guess I've got the "shed twice a year for 6-months each time" type of husky. It was weird how his coat blew... First, his hips, then his sides, then his front legs, then his neck and finally (just when I thought he was done)... his TAIL!
We have used a slicker brush, but a plain, old rake seems to work really well for him. |

It's funny when people compliment our dogs, say they've always wanted one and then ask "Do they shed much?".  |
I always tell people that no, she doesn't shed. That term doesn't nearly cover it - its like living inside of a cottonball.
We also have a Zoom Groom that's great. It takes longer than other brushes, but its the only brush that Ava doesn't throw a fit over. If you come at her with anything - furminator, rake, slicker, even a comb - she'll lay down and scream and howl like she's dying. With the Zoom Groom, she mostly holds still and doesn't argue as much. I had her at a dog wash that had a tiny pet store in the back room and the manager actually came out to check on us because of the sounds she was making when I was grooming her 
Oh, and the HV dryers are the BEST! Ava's weird and loves to play with the vacuum, especially the hose, so naturally she loves the dryer too. Weird little Ava... |

| I know I did Meredith :p And not even one, Mindy . but I leave out details. Bella was too young last year - she was only like four months in the summer and 8 months when fall rolled around lol. She'll be 12 months old on the 17th of this month. So I'm hoping she'll blow her coat this spring and she'll fill out - because right now she has a flat coat and I'm really hoping that she doesn't keep a flat coat. |

| Oh this is great, this where i feel that myself and my family belong on this forum..  nanook started moulting part way through january,..And he will probs stop around december.. Im just kidding, but he does seem to go for quite awhile..there is fur on this keyboard as i type..lol we have all solid floors downstairs, either wood or vinyl called karndean, which its very easy to keep clean, but im sure like everyone, we right now have to vac up twice a day, or we get tumbleweeds of husky fur everywhere... But i would not swap it for anything.... |

| Neo is going full blow on his legs ATM. He looks like a mangy coyote with his fur falling out. I wasn't prepared last fall, I was ready for it thus time. Bring it on! |

| Stupid 80 deg. weather in freaking MARCH is messing with shedding here. We had a mini-blow about 2 weeks ago, and it settled down, and now it's been HOT for just over a week and Niko is starting up again. |
