Buddy is Losing Hair all over the place

My dog loses a pound of hair with each step
Buddy is a lovely pet, without a lot of pep
I follow him down the hallway which I just swept
Eighteen clumps of hair circulating make me feel inept

Should I shave the big hairy guy? Would that be bad?
I wade through a swamp of dog fur, it makes me sad
Do we have to eat dog hair in every meal? Asks my husband dear
I pull a clump of loose dog hair off Buddy’s right rear

Thank goodness for vacuums and lint brushes. We have an old pug whose hair we find everywhere Sometimes we vacuum HIM! He loves it as it probably feels like a massage :) Never wear a black to anywhere I've learned. ha ha
