We have a Rotweiller that sheds not stop. We have tried a curry comb for horses which works okay. But our vet tried the FURminator on our Rot. and what a pile of fur. Our vet. was selling the medium size one for $39.95 plus tax. We purchased the large one for $19.95 received in 5-6 days. Our dog loves it and we really have noticed a difference. It really helps cut the shedding down.

As it is narrated by Snoop Dogg who I never have seen as particularly socially conscious, I was expecting a documentary with a lot of samples of hip hop music and then the artist or others using many swear words to explain what the music was really saying. To my surprise and pleasure, this was much more. The artists who are mainly speaking about subjects of the economy of the late 70s and into the 80s, the crack epidemic, how automatic guns get into the inner city, up to the current war are KRS-ONE, Chuck D, and others usually seen as socially conscious. They talk about how rap became socially conscious, how gangsta rap was often socially conscious, and how the big record companies are now suppressing socially conscious hip hop. This is more of a history-timeline type documentary and is very good. They never touch upon the ‘does music simply reflect society or does it affect society’ issue but it is definitely one that I would suggest for a library of good documentaries. If you are looking for a lot of music and entertainment, this isn’t it, but it flows well and keeps you engaged.

The old windshield mount was failing and was a target for thieves. The search for a new mount began. I thought this would be a good alternative to the regular mounts you see. I took it on a two week road trip and it did great. Never, not once did it move while the vehicle was in motion (including sharp turns) and was easy to hide when you would stop for the night or to go eat. Another great thing about it is that you can transfer it from vehicle to vehicle without a fuss.

Don’t you like it when things just work? I do.

I ditched my old analog scale in hope of a more consistent and accurate reading. This scale delivers in the consistency department, but only with each calibration. What I mean is this… Be sure to calibrate the scale according to the instructions at initial setup and after moving or bumping it. Each time I weigh myself after calibration, I get the same result which is good. So, Calibrate once, and you will always weigh the same.

Here’s the problem, if I accidentally bump it, I will re-calibrate according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After re-calibration, I get a different reading. My weight will vary up to 1 pound. I understand there is some “play” in the sensors, but possibly a flat base affixed to the 4 feet keeping them in the same relative position may help. I am using it on a hard, flat floor as instructed.

I do love the design and the LCD is very easy to read. Can’t say I would buy again but maybe I’m expecting too much from a $29 scale.

Does not work on dogs with thick coats. Works well on silky coat dogs like golden retrievers but not so on chow dogs or dogs with that type coat. Works well on cats.

We were having a BIG shedding problem with our Lab at home. We used several other grooming and shedding tools with her, but it was still a problem. With the Furminator, the problem is simply GONE. And our dog loves it too!
