When I saw Martin Clunes vacuuming that Clydesdale the other night, it made me smile. I once did just the same with my lovely old lad Bamber, some 40 years ago.
It was spring, his coat was shedding in handfuls, clogging the rubber curry and playing havoc with my asthma. So I had a bright idea. I connected up the cylinder Electrolux and set to work. Typical of Bamber, he didn't bat an eyelid and acted like it was all in a normal day.
Sadly I have to report the 1970's Electrolux was not very effective and didn't shift much loose coat. Perhaps it didn't have enough suction but I was disappointed.
I hate to imagine what Mollie's reaction would be if I tried anything like this with her.
So, anyone else ever done this or tried other eccentric grooming methods? The mud being as it is this year, going through a car wash might be appropriate?
