Okay, it isn't Day 2 per se, she's been shedding for about a week already, but this was the second day of MAJOR fur loss - this was after only one side of her had been brushed, and I am having to Swiffer the house twice per day to keep it from having little tumble-furs every where (like tumble weed, but her fur). I'm getting about this much fur from my daily Swiffering as well. It is Nuts!One thing I find interesting is that Arwen gets more sleepy and more hungry than usual during this time - perhaps the stress of shedding out one coat and growing a new one? I don't know, but I try to give her a little extra food without making her fat, and I always try to give her some fresh veggies or eggs or canned tuna juice to help her. Of course, it could also be that she is now spending a few hours per day outside in the warmer weather chasing squirrels and barking at the pheasants that come to our bird feeders (yes, we have 4 pheasants that come to our feeders, it is hilarious).
Until tomorrow, unless I've been covered in a sea of shiny black fur....
and Arwen
Wowie! Arwen sure has lots of extra furs! I hardly have enough fur to cover my whole body.
ReplyDeleteTee Hee! I would share my furs with you Daisy, but my mommy tells me you are in Florida, which is probably too warm for my furs anyway. Thanks for reading about my furs and have a tail-wagging day!
ReplyDeleteArwen looks so sweet laying there after losing all those furs! Her new furs are so shiny and pretty!
