    For your shower you may want to try a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and dish soap. Shake together and spray on shower. You could also then sprinkle baking soda for grit. It might not get it all off at once but if it is working you should see improvement everytime you use. Hope that helps.

    I'm sorry, but the name Princess Fluffy Butt has already been taken! It belongs to my ginger cat Cinnamon. Also off limits is Madam Fluffy Butt. While Freya is moulting, you might want to try a Furminator brush. Apparently it gets rid of the loose coat a lot quicker and easier. I don't think collecting dog fur is weird. I collect my cats' whiskers ... The technical name for an animal lying in the legs out behind position is a sploot. Normally done by cats, but maybe Freya is part cat?

  • @lindabarncord7188

    I second the recommendation for white vinegar and soap. Once you get it clean, you might consider a water repellant product (like Rain-X in USA - typically sold for car windshields/windscreens) to keep water scale from forming.

  • @skylilly1

    My dogs loved being brushed. It really does help to keep the fur amount down around the house. If not, hair galore! lol So nice to get things situated around the house and make it comfy. :)

    It looks great, Arna! Love all the Freya content, especially her love of Kongs! I have so many for my dog, and I just keep frozen ones full of kibble, peanut butter, and pumpkin for emergency moments. I love the pump cover, but please be careful about painting the inside right next to the heat pump! Make sure the paint is non-flammable. (Sorry, paranoid about fire safety)

    Theirs a few company's that knit stuff with your dogs fur. I got a Snowflake scarf made. They say two walks a day are best for most dog breeds so Cleopatra gets two walks a day most of the time but I do live in Canada and she is a Chihuahua as when it's -30 no more walkies but she dose have a yard to run around in.
