At our first Pyrapalooza I saw a “fur happens” shirt. As soon as I saw it I wanted one! But then I got caught up in the excitement of the weekend and didn’t get a chance to get one. Then a few weeks ago I came across the site again!
It is the kind of thing that mostly makes sense to Pyr owners or owners of other large, long coated, non-water dogs. As explained on the fur happens site, even one Pyr produces a prodigious amount of fur. This fur collects in little tumbleweeds all over your house. But truth be told, between the cat and the dogs I’ll take Pyr fur any day. Why? Why choose white hairs that can be up to a foot in length? Because they’re actually very easy to see and pick or rub off. Even the tumble weeds are easy to pick up and throw out. Why non-water dogs? Water dogs have oily coats to protect them from the water, but this also makes the fur stick to everything and hard to pick up or wipe up. Pyrs are not water dogs so their coats are usually dry but the individual strands stick to each other and presto! you can get the fur off of your clothing, the floor, car upholstery and more!
