I am completely untrainable. I keep buying black clothes. Right now I am wearing my new black light weight around the house jogging suit. It's covered with hair (because I will snuggle them and roll around on the couch in pile of pups).
I KNOW by now that the only color that works in this house is GREY so why do I keep buying black?

| I do the same thing, I like black. I no longer worry about the hair! Even my office chair at work is covered in white hairs and vacumming won't get rid of them. |

When you own a Rattie....you KNOW you are in your right mind 
THE MEANING OF RESCUE
Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed.
I'd like to open my baggage
Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry -
So much to regret.
Hmm... Yes there it is, right on the top
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave -
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things -
And take me right back?
Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,
To never repack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage -
Will you still want me?

Bounce? Used bounce or new bounce? Use before or after hair is attached? Use in dryer or rub stinky sheet all over your person? Inquiring minds want to know. Reuse sheet in dryer for next batch of dog stuff? Hate to waste.

Just rub it on him (sometimes you have to hold him down cuz he'll try to eat them) and just rub it up and down his back and neck.
Nibbler would go Cujo on me if I tried to vacuum him. |

My brother is living there now with his Britt (white hair), I go to visit with Cyrus (Black hair), my mom has a black cat (more black hair), and they also have a Norwegian Elkhound/German shephered (Gray, Brown, White and Black hair).

Get one of those masking tape roller things. I wear black almost all the time and I guess I'm lucky it doesn't show much, probably blends in with my beard. I'm kinda proud of my glitter so I don't even try to remove it. Even with Cameo's fur falling out in hunks, but almost cured now, I don't have a problem.
Gwacie, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your fostering. From what I saw on your website you've done many wonderful deeds.
I don't mean to intrude but there is page on your site that touched me and I wanted to mention something to you. Quoting from one of your pages:
"Spottie was a sweet senior citizen we fostered for quite a while..."
There is a special pinned post at the top of Photos:Ratties called Memorials where I don't think anyone would complain if you put a posting:

i understand about the black!
i have a long black coat that pumpkin enjoys sleeping on (she's too cozy to move her, so i let her). Anyway the other day a guy i work with looked at my coat and says "so what kinds of dogs do you have?" lol, that is when i realized my coat needed washing. |

 This is all too funny! You guys are a riot! We have a black cat, white dog so we are scr***d here too. We use the tape on a roll thing and I vacuum daily. Not the dog. Furniture and floors. Bounce sheet on the dog huh?

I have a lot of black and dark brown clothes...I had 4 dark coated dogs at one time, but now I only have one dark coated dog, and my ratties. So now I have to get tan or grey clothes...darn dogs.  I'll have to try that with the Bounce... |

Y'all are killin' me! I used to have just one dog, a black Lab. No problem, cuz I wore mostly black clothes. Now I have a rainbow color of pets. No matter what I wear, fur is a part of it! I have the sticky lint roller thingy too, it helps. |

If I'm actually going OUT of the house I usually lock everyone up (they stay in their bedroom when we are out) and THEN I get dressed. Less hair that way.
Thankis for your kind words Philo, glad you enjoyed the site. I need to update it because Billie Greyhound went to the bridge recently but I haven't felt up to facing that yet. |
