For some reason, I thought that keeping the new house clean would be easy. I don't know why, I just thought it would be clean. Maybe because it was clean when we moved in - I just thought it would be easy to keep it that way. Well, it gets just as dirty just as quickly as my old house.
I swept the whole house on Wednesday. And then, I swept it all Friday morning. This is the dirt that accumulated on my floors in less than 48 hours:

I put the ruler there so the size would be evident. It is an 8" hair ball!!! In two days!!! I tried to get Angus to sit by it as a size gauge but he wouldn't go near it. I think he was afraid of it :-) If you look closely, you can see that the pile of hair is all light colored. I believe this is the culprit and responsible for the majority of this mess:

Don't believe that innocent face. Even he knows he is guilty and is embarassed:

Hee hee hee... Nice post...
Having just recently vacuumed and steam cleaned my carpeting, i know what yer writin' 'bout here, trac!
I vacumn EVERY TWO DAYS, girl. They told me that Greyhounds do not shed. They lied. (LOL on your big dirt clod! I don't blame your little dog not wanting to stand there because it was bit frightening!)
Trac -
How could you get mad at that face!!! We have to vacuum every 3 days and all I have are boys!!!
Yeah, greyhounds don't shed - I love it when I hear people spout out that nonsense. They also are couch potatos - but I have a friend who has one that could put a lab puppy's activity level to shame. They also don't bark - yet another friend has one of the talking-est, barking-est, roo-ing-est dogs I have ever come across.
LOL!!!!!!!! What a funny post! I laughed at that hairball and then laughed more at the fact you measured it for us!! LOL! You are so funny! That's sure a lot of fur for such a short time, but I can relate. My pups do the same! Lol.
