Vacuuming the dog

[valleyman]

For those of you who have dogs that you allow to ride in the MM please be advised that the short hair of the English Bulldog (at least the brindle color)attaches to the interior carpeting of the MM (at least the dark charcol color) with something akin to the force that binds the atom together. Please be further advised that if you are trying to remedy this hirsute adornment to your MM with your shop-vac and your dog is present and it occurs to you that this may be an opportune time to remove the excess hair from the dog's coat with said shop-vac, that the normally loving and docile English Bulldog breed has a downright murderous disaffinity to being vacuumed (at least with a 6.25 hp Craftsman shop-vac). Heretofore unheard of sounds came forth from dog, owner, and shop-vac alike.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. :stooges:

My last dog had long hair. A little easier to get out of carpet but still a pain. He used to stay up front on the floor. I moved the passenger seat all the way back to give him more room. I used to put an old mattress cover on the floor so his hair would not get into the cloth and carpet. This help keep most of the hair out. Still got a little here and there but it was pretty effective.

No eating , no dogs or cats , no farting , if shoes get dirty take em off before u get in , absolutely nothing but sitting and breathing done in my car ... :D

So, when does Sears open, out there in California?

Also wondering about the Vet's bill for removal of the shop vac pieces-parts from said dog's innards.:rofl:

[torinodan]

Ha Ha, I would vacuum the dog first. He loved it. J/k, I had something to cover just about everything in the back seat because he didn't like to get vacuumed.

...and no women's purse's. Right!

[Cheeseheadbob]

Zip ties for the kid's wrists when they accompany me, no snacks, and bedroom slippers for the wife in the passenger seat. Since my windows are limosine black, any authority trying to look in would not be able to see my unique style of keeping my car pristine!

You let kids in your car!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Cheeseheadbob]

I got sick and tired of trying to explain to gawkers in the parking lot that the trunk is a great place for kids and spare tires. Give 'em a flashlight and a deck of cards and we could make to Pittsburgh with no stops!!!:D

On a side note: the prior owner to my Marauder musta had some sorta pet that rode in the car. I'm still finding hair in all kindsa strange places.

[blackf0rk]

There will be absolutely no dogs in my car (either of the canine or human type) :)

You coming to Pittsburgh? Hey, look me up!

Back to the dog hair... We've got a Siberian Husky... she rides in everything, but if I loop her leash around the Mustang's rollbar and we take a good top down run... I can kick up a cloud of her fur for miles behind us... it's almost a James Bond smoke screen.

Oh, she does bite the vacuum too!

It seemed like a good idea at the time. :stooges::lol: Instead of using a "shop vac" on that poor puppy, use a "grooming dryer" ((I have the Metro Air Force Commander Dryers (see link for details http://www.dog-training.com/metro.htm ) that I have used on my Siberian Huskies - yes, they shed :P )). I can use the groomer dryer on dry or wet fur. You would be surprise, even with their fur dry, how much fur I can blow out of them, especially during shedding season. It is well worth it and the birds love their undercoat tuffs for their nests....great insulation :D . LOL....the horse power on the Commander Dry is less than your shop vac......Poochie may like it better also :P . As other have mentioned, you can put sheets or blanket inside the Marauder on the seat and floor to help catch that extra fur. Cabela's makes a mat that fits in the back of most SUV's for this purpose. You may be able to get one of those mats and rig it to fit your car.

By the way....if anyone wants to save that dog fur, especially from dogs that get a thick undercoat, one of the Siberian Husky rescue groups I work with has some people that will spin the fur and then knit it into hats, scarves, etc and auction these items off for fundraising. If you start saving the undercoat fur during shedding season, it is best to save it in a brown paper bag. If you are interested, please PM me, so I can tell you more.

My Australian Shepherd, Abby, has never seen the inside of my Marauder.

Actually, that's not entirely true, I did show her a picture of it once...:lol:

[UAW 588]

Oh, she does bite the vacuum too!

I have the opposite problem. My German Shepard bites at my gas blower. Oh, and anyone not invited in my house, you have been warned.

"Instead of using a shop-vac on that poor puppy ...." Donna


Poor puppy? Poor puppy?! Donna, trust me, the dog won this particular fight on a TKO. I sc***** up my forearm trying to get the vacuum unplugged, there was a four inch stretch of the vacuum hose that looked like it took an "E" ticket ride in the garbage disposal for five minutes, the shop-vac ended up gasping for air lodged between the house and the MM while the rear bumper cover of the car was getting thoroughly flogged by the hose attachment on the end of hose the dog was in the process of murdering. When the whole fiasco was over and I pried Steinberg (he's the dog) off the hose I swear he started grinning! The "poor puppy" was the only one who ended up unscathed. :puppy:

Prior to having to put my Yellow Lab down this past January, she was only allowed in my SuperDuty with the back seat down with her on a carpet strip and blanket back there. When she was back there on "her deck" it was "her truck" and she protected it when I wasn't in it.

With the Italian blood in me, trust me I'm afraid it's already happening.
