Here is my husband with our dog Phoebe. It says in my "roots" section that I could knit a sweater with the dog hair we collect, and I wasn't telling no lie. See exhibit A.
Phoebe is a Husky-Lab mix and she sheds. Sheds buckets, er, blankets. This time of year her winter coat is coming off and you can grab handfuls of it when you pet her. Charlie decided to brush and vacuum her and I grabbed the camera. 
She was actually being a really patient girl while Charlie brushed her. The downy stuff was justing floating off her and she looked so cute...surrounded by a cloud.
This is the pile that we had when he stopped. It is about 3 feet wide and 2 feet across and a couple inches deep in the middle. So soft. Well, now that you have seen a good thing, and a scary thing...how many of ya want to come over and play?
I promise, we vacuumed after this.
I am a woman with more questions than answers. I am constantly searching, learning, decorating, loving and muddling my way through this life. I live under His grace. I stray daily from my faith, my diet, the road, but never my husband. I could eat a whole dish of tiramisu and not feel guilty. I could knit a sweater with all the dog hair on my floor, if I swept it up, or knew how to knit. I am hanging on, holding out, and hoping for the best God has to offer.

I love your island so much. It's perfect. Your puppy is so cute and I want to kiss her nose, but she has ALOT of hair. Wow!
The island is so beautiful. You both did a wonderful job. It's nice to use your own creativity and handiwork to turn something unloved into such a fetching and useful thing.
Oh, and yikes to all that dog hair. You must sweep like a mad woman.
Happy friday!
Nice island...in a sea of fur! Be thankful for hardwoods, they're easier to sweep than carpets. We have a shedder here. Love him, dislike the stray hairs that stick to everything...ick. I heard recently that some pet owners actually make something out of their dog's hair when the beloved pet passes. Yah...not so much.
GoodNESS!!! That's a lot of dog fur!!!
And the island looks fantastic! Really good job.
I'm still lovin that island...but the dog...mmm....not so much. I got bit when I was younger and still haven't gotten over it! She is cute...from far far away in my laptop ;)
Oh my gosh! Do i know about the dog hair! We have a -get this- Husky/Jack Russell mix. He is such a beauty, but does shed something fierce! We love him though, so is not that hard to put up with it. There are just certain parts of the house he can not go to anymore.
Love the dog, love the island! Hubby did great!
