Don't Open the Window

Posted


Blog

On our way to the airport I looked around the car and realized there was, quite possibly, more hair in the car than on the dog. Crack the window and the hair swirls like small puffs of cotton candy, attaching to everything in its path. When you are wearing black trousers this is a recipe for disaster.

It's always fun to see a dog with their head out the window when you are driving. Our dogs are in heaven when the wind blows in their faces. However, with that wind comes the huge wave of fur. The task of vacuuming up all that hair can be daunting even with a seat protection sling. The fur seems to sneak under the cover and crawl into the crevices below the seats and between the seat belts.

Last weekend was spent vacuuming up a majority of that hair and it is amazing how easy it comes off our mats. Cocomats are not only designed for beauty and floor protection but they also allow the clean-up to be a breeze. While it may not be a weekly vacuum, it is nice when it only requires a small amount of effort to "de-fur" the car. Of course then there is the "de-Furing" of the clothes that isn't quite so easy!
