The Doggone Dog Contest

Hair Of The Dog As my Precious sits on my desk, shedding and watching with interest. I take a drink from my cup. A hair sticks to my tongue..eew yuk. She is pleased with herself and wags, her tail, hair flies off like flags. They are small, black and everywhere. Making patterns on all of the chairs. Little drifting smiles of hair, residing on my clothes without care. This much hair from a small Chihuahua, it's not possible, no not at all. It's not as if she's going bald. But then, Kojack, she could be called. Oh look! You have some hair that she's shared. I'll take care of that, you wait right there. I'll just run and get my trusty lint roller. Better yet! I'll get my leaf blower. For the Doggone Dog Contest Hostess: Andrea Dietrich Placement: 2nd

too funny, made me laugh, we had a rhodesian ridgeback the shed the equivalent of a new pup daily, the kids always made comments about sweeping up Nikki's "pups", good luck in the contest with this cute poem

LOL -- I don't know if the leaf blower would work, Paula. Pet hairs seem to stick to clothing. Enjoyed the comparison the Kojack (should she go bald). And I like the way you describe the hairs as having "little drifting smiles." Curled little pet hairs do seem to resemble smiles! Best wishes in the contest, Paula! Love, Carolyn
