Dr. Lumpenstein

Mr. Lumpy is shedding. You would be surprised at how much a short-haired dog sheds. He doesn't like being brushed, either, so you can only get a few swipes in before he lurches away in annoyance.

The other day I saw tufts of black dog-hair float down from one of the oak trees, intermingled with leaves and twigs. I guess he's contributed to the neighborhood bird nests.
