I am surprised that God did not send Pharaoh a plague of dog hair.
Here are a few things that dog hair clings to, (not including the obvious, such as pants, upholstery, curtains, and anything fabric):
leather furniture
table legs
hardwood floors
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
glass
all parts of the vacuum cleaner
What dog hair does not cling to:
dogs
On top of that; I am not a good housekeeper. It is embarrassing to admit, but it's true. So, don't be surprised should you hear that my entire family is hospitalized for dog hair induced pneumonia, or perhaps an internal obstruction of some sort.
But in my attempt to stop complaining, I will say I could always learn to knit!
You are so funny Kay! Thanks for the smile! Hope your day didn't get too hairy :)
ReplyDeleteI dunno -- it's almost creepy to think someone wrote a book about that ... **shudder**
ReplyDeleteAlthough -- I remember going to a sheep show in Timonium (I think that's the name of the town) outside Washington DC. Three and a half hour drive because a friend was showing her sheep there that weekend; and there was a "sheep to shawl" competition I wanted to see -- from sheering the sheep, spinning the wool and then weaving a shawl. Missed the sheering -- some guys from New Zealand won that part of the competition for being the fastest shearers.
Anyhow, I mention that because there was a lady spinning her rolags of wool, with an angora bunny on her lap. Every so often she would reach down and pet the bunny, come up with a handful of buny fur and work that into her spinning.
Thanks for the laugh though.
I wonder, can you use dust bunnies the same way??
OOPS -- sheering? Shearing, I think would have been better ...
ReplyDeleteI heard an editor at a writer's conference talking about that book. It had come across her desk and she thought it was crazy (not in a good way) and turned it down. Her point was that are markets for all sorts of things - that you have to find the right one. She also said that the dog hair knitting book had sold really, really well.
ReplyDeleteAs for the dog hair - we fight it, too.
precisely the reason I got a non-shedding dog. I will never win the Housekeeping Olympics.
ReplyDeletetoo funny!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could use it to stuff a pillow. It probably works as well as cat hair.
ReplyDeleteI have a Jack Russell and he blogs too!
