Your readers that have dogs are probably starting to have them blow their coats now, or they will be in the near future.
What we’ve been doing when we brush them is to put the fur in onion bags and then hang them out later in Spring when birds are looking for nesting materials. We use separate bags for each dog and the don’t hang them together. That way, we can find nests later made pretty much from the fur of that dog.
Sorry for the poor picture.
The one on the right came from Brutus, my big Mastiff. The one to the left came from our other Mastiff, Sophie.
We’re putting some together for our other dogs now.
Just a nice remembrance that some might appreciate knowing about.
