Note to idiot self...

[kat2290]

...DO NOT use shedding blade on wooly mammoth-esq ponies if you are standing right next to the water bucket you just spent a good 10 minutes cleaning and filling up, you will regret it

Lol I'm always doing that! I just scrape the hair off the top.

I tried but It ended up getting all swirled around and I couldn't get it out, I decided it would probably just be quicker to wash and refill

Ponies dipped their muzzles in and came back out sporting new moustaches

Not using a shedding blade on a woolly mammoth-esq animal, whilst you're standing right next to a full water bucket sounds like a good note to yourself, I wonder if you will remember it?

Can I add my own note to idiot self?
I should not brush or cuddle any shedding animal just before I'm going to eat, especially if I don't have the option of changing clothes. Hairs that one moment seems firmly attached to my clothes, will in the presence of a full dinner plate somehow end up in the food/my mouth.

I found these two photos on the internet, and thought that they where somewhat suitable for the subject of this thread.
A shedding Alaskan Malamute.

A shedding Newfoundland.

Crikey!! They are some hairy beasties

Another note to self, try not to stand downwind of shedding ponies with mouth open

Also best not to use a shedding blade whilst wearing lip gloss

Hats off to you if you wear lipgloss full stop while doing anything horsey, v. Glam
