HOW MANY?????

[MellowYellow]

OH and I were just wondering idly how many hairs there are on a Labrador... According to Uncle Google it is THREE MILLION!!!!!! Can this be true??

At any rate, I feel better about the state of my floor now. No wonder I can’t keep on top of it!!!

 

[Cupcase]

Nah there's at least six million hairs on my floor, in my food, all over my clothes, in my bed, on my chairs and I have yet to get on top of it, there on top of me, like a second set of clothes. There's must be at least the same again on Cassie, never had a dog that has as much hair.

 

[Rosie]

Perhaps three million AT ANY ONE TIME. There is then another three million on the carpet; a million or so in those corners under the furniture you thought you'd brushed; a couple of million in the delicate nests of doghair that blow like tumbleweed across the lawn from when you last stroked him out there; and close to a trillion in the hoover bag which needs changing again.
Uncle Google knows nothing.

 

[Beanwood]

OK....three million times...four....GOSH that's a lot of... .

 

[Rosie]

And it's calculated per square inch of skin. So Pongo counts triple.

 

[Lab_adore]

I'm so glad it's not just us who can't stay on top of the hair. As much as I will miss my shedding machine, I'm looking forward to meals , clothes, bedding and floors without dog hair for a while on out trip.

Then add a Shadow (“he’s the most moultiest boy in the world”*) into the mix; he’s worth at least another two...

* to the song of, it's the most wonderful time of the year.

 

[Boogie]

One word - swiffer.

I do it at least four times a day and the hair problem is kept to a minimum.

Trust me, the fur will come with you. Maybe not in the quantity you are used to, but you're sure to find it sneaking out of your luggage at unexpected moments.

So true! We found dog hair all over our Tokyo hotel room!

There is a hair on my phone screen as I type this.

But this is an opportunity to join the Forum competition for "where can you get your lab hair to". This extremely serious and highly competitive endeavour was initiated by @Hollysdad, who recognised the inevitability of Holly travelling in his suitcase all over the world and turned it into a personal challenge to plant her hair in exotic locations. I believe that he still holds the first prize, with one of Holly's hairs being smuggled into the security system of the Kremlin. Our offering is that one of Pongo's hairs was placed at the top of a glacier in Iceland, so is now journeying slowly to the sea encased in ice. So, @Lab_adore , the challenge is laid down - where will you plant a Maxx-with-two-kisses hair?

 

[Sophiedoodle]

I can bet that there is some Lilly hair floating about it Hawaii....

 

[Hollysdad]

The world needs more Labby friendliness. Holly hairs have circled the globe. Not only through Ruth and me, but by secreting hairs onto the clothes and luggage of people at international conferences. With a bit of effort and sneakiness you could circle the globe with hairs!

Oooh! Challenge accepted!!

My first thought is we will be in a desert camp riding camels in the Sahara in Morocco for my birthday. I'll plant one in our tent

Hmmmm...then Madam Tussauds - is there a particular polititan you think could be improved with a strategically placed one?

A careful flick could see one on the Mona Lisa and/or The Eiffel Tower.....the Parthenon in Rome.....oh the mind boggles!

 

[Hollysdad]

We had a very good trip to Rome earlier in the year but there are still plenty of places left in the city that would benefit from some Lab hair. The Vatican Museum, Pantheon, several museums and the Forum were generously supplied with Holly hair. We were starting to run out by the end of the trip, so St Peters and The Colosseum were very thinly covered.

 

[Lab_adore]

Hmmm, ok Rome is 'covered' then . Apologies for my misspelling of Pantheon

In addition to the Sahara, Rome and London, we are also visiting Lisbon, Marrakech, Dades Gorges, Chefchaouen, Fes, Venice, Florence, San Gimignano and The Seychelles. I'm sure we will find one or more magical places to leave some Labrador momentos

 

[Rosie]

Oh wow, the possibilities are almost endless! I can't wait to hear this story. Definitely the camel in the Sahara, by the way, that sounds very cool.
Now, do you think you can provide photographic evidence of any of the hair deposits?

I'm not sure that Donald Trump deserves a Maxx hair. In fact, I think the placing of a Labrador hair should be considered a major honour, rather than a remedial action. So, please see if you can add a Maxx hair to someone that genuinely deserves it. Perhaps Nelson Mandela?

I will try! OH is in charge of the camera (I am hopeless) but he loves a challenge so I'm sure he will make every effort to get the perfect hair shot

I love the idea of one of Pongo's drifting slowly down from Iceland and chuckled about the security clearance in the Kremlin
