Shasta542:
Skimble is very cute! Looks like a contented kitty---got candy and computer--who wouldn't be happy?
*You may have already told this, but---did you get Skimbles' name from "CATS"? There is a cat named Skimbleshanks---I think he is the railroad cat in the show. My favorite dance number is the train one and also the rock and roll---RumTumTugger! ;D

Yup, from CATS! Not many people get the reference! I played the number Skimbleshankas the Railway cat in my school brass band and loved it - so used it as his name - but shortened as I thought I may get wierd looks if I shouted for Skimbleshanks every night!

Cam sheds 24/7/12/365 --all that--I don't see how he keeps from being bald! He always has very thick fur. And, yes, I brush him. I could brush him for hours and still he would be shedding. Anyone have a homeopathic remedy? (Besides shearing.) :P

I don' have a homeopathic remedy Shasta. My only advice to you is to just keep brushing him like Hell won't have it.
That's what I do with Cody. I brush him and I brush him until the cows come home... and HE STILL SHEDS!! But eventually I get it all out. I have friends with allergies who come to visit and Cody never bothers them. This is not an easy feat to accomplish with a Golden Retriever! :P
He should stop shedding in a month or two when he starts to develop his winter coat. But he'll still shed. Just not as much. :P
I know Shasta. It's ridiculous, isn't it?
David In Indy:
Re Cody's brushings: Shasta I should also point out that I brush Cody 3 times each day; once in the morning before I go to work, once after a return home, and once again before I go to bed. Each of his brushing sessions lasts about 15 or 20 minutes. I found if I do this, I can stay ahead of his shedding, because it never has a chance to really build up. I suppose this may not work for you and others, because some animals despise being brushed. Cody loves it. He gets all doey eyed when I brush him. I brush him in my utility room, and I shake off the rug thoroughly outside after each "session" (I don't know what else to call it). I also have an ionizer in the utility room and it attracts and traps the finer pieces of fur floating around after we finish.
He also gets a weekly bath and I keep him trimmed in the summer which also helps with the shedding. :D
