Since we've started allowing the girls in our bed, they've completely taken it over. Josie likes to sleep on our bed even during the day, so we got a special blanket to keep the hair down. Every night, before going to bed I use a lint roller to get rid of any hair near our faces. The dogs eventually discovered that the sound of the lint roller meant we were going to bed soon, and it became a frenzy of golden retriever excitement. I've never known a dog to get so excited about the sound of a lint roller, but you know, if I stop being surprised and delighted by things, that's probably when you'll hear the ominous music start playing.
So anyway, I thought I would beat the dogs at their own game and use the lint roller in the mornings. This has deeply confused them. They can be anywhere in the house but when I start using the lint roller they come pitter pattering ever so tentatively into the bedroom and look at me like, "Are we going back to bed?" This has been going on for a while, but they are still confused and somewhat hopeful every time. Heaven forbid I don't do a good enough job with the lint roller in the morning and I have to bring it out at night, because they are still 100% excited about that.
Recently I bought myself an industrial-sized lint roller with a metal holder (happy holidays to me!), and when I ripped off the first layer of paper, it sounded like a plane taking off. No matter, fur was flying, tails were whipping, and before we knew it, we were engulfed in their fur frenzy.
If you look closely, you can see the industrial-sized lint roller on one of my side shelves. It takes up the full shelf!
I will say reading the news in the morning is ever so much more pleasant with a hairy dog booty in your business.
