Most of you figured out I have dogs. Long hair dachshunds to be exact. 3 reds, 2 blondes. Here's the latest pic of the blondes:

Well, having dogs means shedding. Usually only 2x a year. Fall is one of those times, so they are shedding. I am also a blonde. And at almost 3 months post-op, i have now joined my dogs in shedding. Woozers!! What a mess!!! I go see my hairdressers next fri and I'm def going to cut it short. Question is, who will stop shedding first? Me or the dogs??

I have a great pyrenees who is 3.5 yrs old and OMG she sheds big time. It drives me insane. I love to wear black and her fur is like cotton and it sticks to everything. I take her to the groomers about once a month to have them get most of the shedding hair. She's such an amazing dog though and extremely loyal. I've had her since she was 5 weeks old and she actually fit in the palm of my hand. Now she's a large breed q-tip lol. I'm not shedding yet (knock on wood) but I'm sure it will suck.

She's doing well now but really putting on weight with the steroids. I worry about the long term affects that will have on her back. I don't know how to restrict her diet any more than we already do. She gets 1/4 cup morning and night. But she often leaves some of that untouched.

Those are wonderful dogs!! Very loyal. Good family dogs. Yeah, big white shedding Q-tip!!! :-)

Yep! I sure have been. From what I understand, Biotin helps w regrowth, not hair loss. And I only was lacking Protein for 5 days post op. So, I did everything right!!

Doxies are so unique. Wire hairs are usually totally clowns! I prefer the LH's 'mostly' mellower personalities.

My two wire hairs are total nuts! One's named killer the other pepper and the names suits them to a TEE! Killer (my son named him) will chase after you barking then when you turn around he runs away haha and Pepper just barks at anything and everything and tries to attack it. We also have a resque dog it's a large dog and she is scared of the two wire hairs! I started out with two Dachshunds then I had a friend who was a breeder and he passed away so I took his dogs because i didnt want to see them go to the pound. I found good homes for most of them but kept 5. My house is really their house we just pay the bills!
