Char,

We moved from St. Augustine FL to the middle of NC. Quite a temp difference and the dogs are still getting adjusted I believe.

I moved from IL(winter) to Kentucky(winter through summer) to AZ(summer) back to Kentucky(summer fall) and then IL(fall winter) and now again to AZ(spring summer fall and winter).SO i am sure that my dog is just going crazy not knowing if he should get a winter coat when it is in the 60s here in the day and 20s at night.I am sure that the weather has alot to do with the shedding. I wish I had a central vaccume system!!! I was thinking about one of those robot vaccumes....my dogs would think that is the best toy for them and last all of a day.lol

Melissa,
Sorry, I just reread your post and realized I read it wrong. So, you moved FROM FL to NC. NC is really having a brutal winter, especially in the mountains. Well, if all 5 of your dogs are blowing their coats up there in NC, then I am going to stop worrying! Thanks!

My dogs are both in coat now. My female blows her coat 2x a year. My male is only 9 months so I still am watching him ( he's got a tight coat)
Lavk-9, I was looking at those Roombas from I-Robot. They do look pretty good but I'd have to crate my male on the schedule as he'd grab it and try and chew it to bits! I do think I want to get one! Free me up from vacuuming!

Turns out I live only 20min away from Melissa. My girl blew her coat 4 weeks ago, first the under coat, then the top coat. Thought I will end up with a naked dog! She is back in coat now, soft and beautiful. Maybe a hint of this super cold weather to come? My puppy boy just started now. My am-line male strangly only shedds badly in the spring.

Be careful spending too much money on a Roomba. I got one 2 years ago. Didnt really take care of the dog hairs. The compartment is just too small. Its good for crumbs or loose dirt. But since I got a Dyson, mine is sitting mostly in the closet.

Well I guess I won't be going out to get a Roomba then.I thought that the compartment might be too small.There is no way it would handle the fur.Might be good for the dust that gets tracked though here though.
Elkoorr-thanks for the heads up and the pic of the dog in your avatar has a lovely face.Love that darkness and great expression!!

Oh wow! I had no idea Elkorr, that we were that close! Learn something new every day.. and I though there was no one close.

Thanks LavK9. Thats my girl last winter, this year she looks even better and more mature (just a bit over two years old). Here is a pic of her from last saturday running blinds.

Yup, Melissa, just around the corner up in Winston. Our group is training down by Moorsville. Drop me a note if you are looking for an opportunity to train.
