My parents have been complaining that Laifu is too fat. We think she’s just got too much fur on her… Lately this theory has been proven since she’s been shedding like crazy. I’m glad that I’m not allergic to dog fur but I have a feeling that if she continues on this pattern twice a year (Shiba Inus shed twice a year), I just may reach the threshold and become allergic! Let’s hope that doesn’t happen…

We’ve been vaccuming on a weekly basis and this week the whole container (we have those portable ones) was full with Laifu’s fur. She doesn’t enjoy being brushed but i forced it on her anyway. This morning we went to the big park and she ran into the woods as usual. She came out with a huge patch of black stinky mark on her neck (most likely rolled in some dead animal.. they dogs think it’s premiere perfume), so we had to bath her right after we came home. So we did… and HOLY MOLLY! does she ever shed!!!! There was so much fur coming off that i’m surprised our drain hasn’t completely clogged up (though the draining rate has become really slow). And since she also hates hairdryers, we put her infront of the fireplace to dry herself. I’m not kidding, she lost half of her body size after the shower!!!!! You can be the judge:

Laifu after shower today

I took a shower afterwards and i discovered a hole inside the tub! DID LAIFU BREAK MY BATHTUB??!! Wow, that’s pretty impressive. I mean, I don’t think i can make a hole in my bathtub in a 20min shower! I tried to take a picture but it was hard to take one that would show the whole tub and the hole. So I drew it. The hole is about 2cm in diameter and is in the insdie of the bath tub on the shower curtain side.
