Hair Explosion

This look means that she wants to go for a walk and she will Not quit staring at me until she gets it.

This is probably another first time very stupid thought, but when we first got Mia I was so happy that she didn't seem to shed much at all.  She has very short hair to begin with, and I'd call it hair and not fur.  This was in September and even into November I was still giving thanks that she shed less than imagined.  Now that it's post-Thanksiving a switch has flipped and for about 2 weeks Mia freaking exploded her fur whenever we went: car was a disaster, kitchen floor a nightmare, and vacuuming was even worse if possible.  Every time I vacuumed it looked like a small animal was in the catch.  Each time I swept up a small area in the kitchen it contained what looked like a furry pet.  Apparently her summer coat is gone and her thicker and warmer winter coat is now in.  I can see the difference mostly on the underside of her where before she didn't really have much hair at all and now it's thick and luscious.  This is good, we always wonder if she's cold at night when everyone is sleeping.  I know she's an animal, but we still think about these things.
