Wit's Bitch thinks she might have a hairball, and I think I can relate! I coughed up a hairball myself the other night. Well okay, it wasn't so much a hairball as just a single long strand of hair (probably my own). How it got in my throat I'm not sure, but I'm thinking it had something to do with the blanket I kept having to pull up with my mouth every time one of the dogs sat on me and pulled it down, exposing my upper arms to the icy air from the air conditioner.

The bigger problem I have with pet hair is getting Vixen's hairs in my eyes. Smooth-coat Chihuahua hair bears a close resemblance to a very long human eyelash. I don't know where they hide, but often I will be at work, in the middle of the afternoon, not having been anywhere near Vixen for several hours, and suddenly one of my eyes will start bothering me. After much rubbing and coaxing with wet paper towels, out from under my lower eyelid will pop a three-quarter inch white or light brown hair that can only have come from one place. I seriously find more of her hairs in my eyes than I do my own eyelashes. It's not like I spend a lot of time with her shoved up against my face, tempting though as it is. I think she sneaks out of her crate during the day and rolls all over my pillow or something...

comment: from chat blanc Oh pet hair in the eye is the worst! Somehow I get my cats fur tangled up in my eyelashes and partially in my eye. So irritating! But the furballs are well worth it! :) Thanks for the link love and commenting on my blog!! Tue 09/09/2008 9:18 PM
