Pet hair for the environment
Finally this weekend, after much procrastinating, I'm taking my poodle-mix Spencer to get his hair cut. When the breeder sold us Spencer, she told us he was a cockapoo and he would need to have his hair cut about once a year. Well, the vet and groomer informed us he isn't a cockapoo, but probably a terripoo. And he needs his hair cut every six weeks, although I usualy stretch it out to every three months.
Recently I read about Matter of Trust, an organization in San Francisco that collects human and pet hair to weave into mats that soak up oil spills. Salons and individuals can donate to the organization. Now I'm thinking to ask the groomer to bag up Spencer's hair so I can send it away for a good cause.
