It is snowing Shar Pei...

Or at least Shar Pei hair at our house. Menchi has been gearing up for her twice yearly moult.

Having lived 12 years with a double coated, long haired breed like our Maeve (rough collie) before she passed we are no strangers to hair puppies drifting about the corners of a room like miniature tumble weeds.

That being said, Shar Pei take their biannual sheds very seriously...they produce little clouds of undercoat that rain from them at the slightes provocation. They wander about for weeks looking like they have been attacked by hordes of insane moths...and they do this with an air of haughty dignity that only a Pei can bring to being partially devoid of hair.

Menchi had a bath this weekend both to aid her with her seasonal allergies and to promote the shedding of that stubborne undercoat. Our bathtub looked like a furball exploded in it after she was done...and yet there is still more hair where that came from O.O

Watson is never that noticable in his shedding. He feels it would be unseemly to do so ;)
