Blowing her coat

Ireland's been shedding a lot of hair the past two weeks. I guess the proper term is " blowing her coat". Huskies will blow their coat about once a year, typically during the summer.

Brad's been trying to quicken the process a little, by using a comb to rake over Ireland's hair. Usually she enjoys it, unless the comb gets stuck in a knot of tangled hair.

The pile of hair in the picture below is what came off of her by just raking over her back and sides for a couple of minutes. By the time she's done shedding, the amount of hair she's lost could probably fill up a comforter...
