I don't know why it is, but my german shepherd dog sheds ALL the time. I try to keep him brushed, but so far the count is, Me - 10, Max - 127. LOL It's not that he doesn't like being brushed, it's just hard for me to wrestle with him while he's wiggling around. My back doesn't like wrestling. Go figure. LOL

So, anyway, there is fur all over the place. I can sweep one day, and the next day, there will be giant dustballs of fur rolling around the kitchen. That's a pretty easy clean, but it seems to really stick to carpet. I keep telling my husband that I want to rip up all the carpet and put in hard wood floors. Then, we can put down rugs, if we want to, as they would be a lot easier to clean.

I think that would help with the dust problem, too. I've been battling it for years. I honestly think when the previous owner was getting our house ready to sell, they didn't change the mats under the carpet when they installed new. Someone spilled water on the carpet not long after we moved in, and before we knew it, there was a dark stain on the carpet. Now, I don't know about your water, but our water ain't dark. LOL So, I think now, the pad is probably dry rotting and releasing that nasty dust when we walk around.

It's not like it's hard to wipe up, but it just makes me want to pull my hair out! It will be back within a couple hours of dusting. No kidding! So, it's either pull up the carpet..... or MOVE!!! Oh... ok, hubby nixed that idea. Geesh, he's hard to get along with. LOL
