Shedding The Dog
About this time every year Brownie starts shedding his fur coat in huge clumps of hair. Before I recorded this video I had already brushed him once earlier in the day! Brownie always looks so much skinnier in the summer time.
For those of you wondering, Brownie is an Australian Shepherd (at least that is what I have been told). He’s close to 5 years old now! He was originally my cousin’s dog, then my sister’s, now mine. I plan on keeping him for many years to come. He’s my sweet big brown dog! I just wish I didn’t have to keep him outside.
If you’d like to see more photos of Brownie you can look at him on my Flickr account.

Brownie’s little dog house is so cute! What a happy puppy!

Andy, you should comb him with a fine tooth comb and send the matted hair to Cheryl to use as impromptu sanitary pads.
Then Cheryl could send the nicotine-enriched period blood to Madge as bagel filling. That Madge is such a period-blood-eater.
There was clearly something sexual going on at the end of the video, off camera.

I agree Xavier, something sexual was going on at the end of this vidjoe. I would love to git this collection of matted hair and use it as a payd and then send it to Maydge. Good ideas all round.
This video is amazing… nice view of Andy\’s aggressive obesity, as Madge would say. REAL nice.

Nice of the cat to make a cameo there, at the end.

Stephen - I thought I had responded to your comment already. Maybe I did in an IM conversation! Oh well, I can do it again! Thanks, hun! I’m glad you think so. That dog house has been home to all of my dogs!
Xavier - I don’t even want to think about that. Gross.
Cheryl Merkowski - The only animal that is going to have access to my Brownie’s hair is the birds so they can build nests! Brownie’s hair is not for Cheryl or Madge’s sanitary needs!
Shawno - Thanks, Shawno. Thanks for being like Stephen and leaving a SANE comment! The other cat was around somewhere, too. I think in the woods behind the dog house.

Hey great looking dog! I heard Cheryl and Madge talking about this video a while ago and I finally got around to watching. They have a brush called the furminator…you should check it out it is awesome.

sage - The funny thing about me responding to your comment is I always bold the person’s name when I reply to them in my comment so the first part of this says strong sage! Thanks for the tip! I Googled the Furminator and WOW. I’m sure Brownie would love one of those. I’ll have to look into it. It would definitely make him feel much cooler in the summer months! Thanks!
