overheard at the dog park

Nan brought the coolest tool to the park yesterday. It's called a shedding blade and it does just what its name implies. I got an unbelievable amount of undercoat off Belly with it, and so, as I am wont to do, I became a little bit obsessed with it. Obsession in this case=wanting to brush ALL the dogs.

Meanwhile, it's 11:30 in the morning and people are wondering if it's too early to have a beer in honor of Labor Day. It's quickly settled, and the discussion is now revolving around who's gonna get off their asses and drive over to Nan's house, all of about a block away, to get the beer. All the while I'm brushing Sarah's dog, Lucky.

Nan: Oh, I'll go.

Neecy: Amy probably has to go to the bathroom.

Sarah: I've really got to get myself one of those.

Everyone: A bathroom?

Amy: Of course I have to go to the bathroom. I'll go with you, Nan.

Sarah: A shedding blade.

Lucky: Give it up already will ya? Rrrrufffff.

Is it the ShedEnder? 'cuz it was reviewed in Consumer Reports, and all the users said it was worth the money because it worked well and was so easy to clean. (As opposed to how many times I've poked holes in my fingers cleaning the wire slicker brush--ouch!)
