Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Akita?
Buy extra-large poo bags.

The amount of dung that comes out of a healthy big dog can be surprising.

Keeps your hands warm on those cold winter mornings, though.

ETA: they shed like a bastard, too. Hair everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Handsome beasties.

New Word
The difference between "a dog that sheds a bit" and "a dog that sheds a lot" is remarkable. Jenn vacuums every two days and pulls enough out of the canister to make a schnauzer.

New Time to have the kirby fixed
New Miele Cat & Dog
Never mind your "made in America" crap. You need German engineering for serious dog-hair-sucker-upping.

We got one when we had Max, the Dalmatian Cross Who Should Have Been Bald.
New Dalmatian hair *sucks*
My sister had one and took it for a ride in my Camaro one day while borrowing the car. That Dalmatian hair simply does not come out of cloth.

New Weimaraner hair is the same way.
Except we have a Weimaraner with Boxer colors... So its is just like Dalamatian hair.

We switched from a Hoover upright to a Dyson (mumble)... which was before they did the "animal".

We vacuumed the carpeting for 30 days straight (going over it many times per vacuum) before we were able to not fill it 3 times during the chore... of course we also had a Brittany until recently, which didn't add much.

Now if we vacuum, we get one full canister and a partial one. It is like our dog should be bald. I mean we can get "all" the hair out of her with a serious brushing and 10-15 minutes later you can get more. It is horrible sometimes... especially on hot hot days.

New DalmatiAn, fercryinoutloud, you Yanks!
Peter even showed you how to spell it in the first post above that mentions it. Where the fuck do you even get this moronism from in the first place -- do you know lots of Syrions and Italions, too?!? Fuck, even Shrub didn't call his "Grecians" Grecions...

Damn, it's a hard life being a pilkunnussija.

New Is "tion" not a very common suffix in other languages?
It's so common in English that I type it on autopilot.

Drew
New Sure -- for nouns derived from verbs and adjectives, just...
...like in English. Not for nationalities, which are, what, adjectives or adverbials or something? What, isn't -ian a very common suffix in English...?

Automation, from automate/automatic; gestation, from gestate; maturation, from mature(v/adj); infatuation, from youth and naivety... You chop off any vowels from the end of the verb and add the whole -ion part.

Country and regional names that end in -ia are most all from Latin, like Sarmatia/n, Armenia/n, Arabia/n, Illyria/n(*), Liguria/n, Iberia/n, Catalonia/n, Galicia/n, Lusitania/n(+), Pannonia/n, Hibernia/n... They all end in -ia already(@), so you need just add an -n and keep your fingers off the vowels.

HTH!

*: Of which Dalmatia was a part. For more recent monikers in the same area, see YugoslavIA/N, SerbIA/N, CroatIA/N, RomanIA/N, and BulgarIA/N.
+: Typing this in the Radisson Blu Lisboa.
@: In Latin; English has often replaced this with an -y, but the -ian remains.

New Good catch, Bill! No, not I, but perhaps DrooK? (And you?)
New Fast typing is (I suspect) partially fonetik
I don't think in parts of speech when typing.

New I see that the pilkunnussija mode is ON! :)
I had to dig through old notes to find that one. In colloquial Finish pilkunnussija means comma-fucker, i.e. someone being pedantic.

New Oooh! Even Linus hasn't used that one yet!
New Just stopped myself from nussing a few pilkkus elsewhere...

^^ Dalmatia.

Lovely part of the world. My sister has been there on holiday a few times and adores the place. Very popular with the Germans, apparently.
New All in slow Wohnautos-"RVs", in Yank-on narrow twisty roads.

New That's why standard size poodles are nice
No shedding to speak of and very smart. Get them a puppy cut for all their born years and they don't look stupid either. Lots of fun to play with too, and easy to train.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New Yep
Our yorkies don't shed, either.

New Sophie doesn't shed as much as she molts.
She's got this white undercoat that comes out in clumps when the season warms up. It's amazing how much hair she's got left, even after she's been brushed and combed and (seemingly) filled up a 13 gal plastic garbage bag.

Supposedly she's part Bernese Mountain Dog so that may be the reason. It's not the supposed Great Dane part, that's for sure...

Cheers,
Scott.
New It's no wonder they eat so much
Growing all that hair is SRS BSNS.
