Don’t Brush The Dog—Use A Vacuum Instead!
by Simon Carter
June 2001
My dog has a heavy coat that requires a lot of brushing. I was constantly cleaning up the dog hair with the vacuum cleaner after I brushed her. It finally occurred to me that I could use my vacuum with an upholstery attachment to brush the dog. She was a little apprehensive at first, but now she loves it, and I do too. The vacuum sucks up all the loose hair so I don’t spend any time cleaning.

Place the car first, and sight up to the ceiling from the front and then from the side of the windsheild to approximate where the string should hang.

How about some tips for those of us without exposed beams (garage ceiling and walls are drywalled).

Hanging a tennis ball by a string in the middle of the garage doesn't work out very well if you have a dog. It either is a tease for smaller dogs, or a fun game for larger ones! htp://theunsurehandyman.blogspot.com
