Good grief!! Could have sworn that the Groundhog just saw his shadow yesterday. Yet today, both of my dogs are blowing coat.
I didn't notice it so bad but just cleaned living room and put down clean blankets to protect the carpet(not that it works so great) and as I was out in the laundry room I saw what looked like a big ol' patch of loose hair on Nadia.
So I grabbed the brush, and was just going to get that one spot. Two hours later, and what feels like lot of fine hair inhaled(HATE that feeling) both dogs are brushed out and all the hair flying around out on the patio has been vacuumed up.
Are YOUR dogs blowing coat already?

We have been blowing coat for a few weeks now. It has been unseasonably warm too.

Not yet. Yukon did not grow a very thick winter coat this year. Probably has to do with the mild temperatures. So I think his shedding won't be too bad.  Fur stuck in the back of your throat is an awful feeling. I made the mistake many times of yawning while brushing Yukon. *inhale* *cough* *gag* Hairball alert!

We are blowing coat here too. I have to vaccuum at least 2-3 times a day to keep up with all that hair!!
(Thankfully they are not all blowing coat at the same time! Kona did a few months back; now it is Tosca's and Iorek's turn. Kamahi, Lexi, and Charlie haven't blown coat yet, but I am expecting it will be soon.)

Tooz has started molting too! Funny - that is what I say about Skye. Crazy weather, cold a couple of days then 40s and 50s. Skye looks terrible and she does not enjoy being brushed, just puts up with it. I pluck hair as much as possible, then give her a fast brush over.
