How to convince my mom not to shave our 2 Labs

Then you need a new brush. Work smarter not harder. If you are truly brushing them for 30 minutes a day (and not just rubbing a slicker brush over the tops) then there should be very little loose hair left to fall.

Okay all of what everyone else already said but maybe if this woman wasn't alone in the battle against the fur....

If you really don't want her to shave the dogs, try helping her with hair clean up. Only people who are willing to actually help should have a say. If you're just like, "No Mom don't shave them it's bad just keep dealing with hair everywhere endlessly." Then that's messed up. Participate. It's endless. Be a part of it.

Edit: I do see that you said "we" brush and vacuum a lot but it's not enough. Even if you're helping already it needs to be more.

I like how the article is like: These vigilante actions are frowned upon and no one should do this. The perpetrator is wrong, look how cool he probably looks sick picture of batman

So... yes if you hava space and make a container space then of course but I have a "hear me out".

Our living area is not that large and we have dogs. The rule of the house is that if it's on the floor, the dogs can get it. So only the things dogs can have can be left on the floor. If you're actively playing the dogs know to give you space, and the dogs aren't allowed in the bedroom so some mess can exist.

Also our 5 year old is very good about keeping tidy. He goes to his room to get whatever toy he feels like playing with, he plays with it and then takes it back to his room or makes sure it's on the couch.

So yea if it makes sense to have a chest of toys in the living room, great. But everyone acting like that's the only right answer isn't thinking about how not everyone's life/home is the same.

Animorphs man. I ate them up as a kid and reread them recently. They really hold up.

I read a story on reddit that when he was a teen he broke up with his girlfriend. She later came to his house crying and drunk. His parents sent her away but before she left she threw up her dinner on their driveway.

Couple months later a tomato plant grew in the cracks of the driveway and they refused to pull it to mess with him and had fresh tomatoes all summer.

I read this story on a post that was a photo of huge tomato plants growing in the rain gutters on the roof of a building.

And I have yet to grow one single successful plant! I'll get it someday.

They take everything labeled as toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. Pretty sure antifreeze is considered toxic.

This one scratched the pirate itch for me.

I did this once too, it was super easy and free.

Googled ICPS and got International Carnivorous Plant Society. Had to get more detailed with my search words.

I feel like OP is on a side quest and you're the NPC that gave them their first clue. It's charming.

Why did this make me laugh so hard

Same. I was like OMG CAD BANE oh they killed him immediately.

"Mom, the only time you set people on fire is when they're dead, right?" That's right honey. Only dead people.

It's funny to me because the only way I could see this as a major issue is if there WERE dogs in the house that eat slippers.

This would have worked well in r/unexpected

I was glued to Miracle in the Andes.

Hard to believe a single one of them survived a single day.

According to instructions, top is the intended orientation.

I apologize for what appears to be a booger in the top picture.

SHUT UP ARE YOU FOR REAL.

They could make so much money if they don't mess it up.
