We had an Alaskan Malamute and I swore by the Furminator. It was the greatest.
You can also try the Chom Chom Roller to pick up fur off furniture. It works well. They sell it on Amazon and Chewy. Having that and the Furminator should help a lot with fur all over the house/furniture.
I don’t know the story of how the FURminator came to be, I just know that the company got sold/left St. louis and the marketing Director went elsewhere to work, that’s how I know her.
I figured she had some unopened FURminators in her basement, so I asked her if she did and she brought me one. I usually am not forward like that, but I just thought hey let’s save myself 30 bucks if she has a large supply of them.
When my son gave me Noki he also sent a big metal tool that did a great job of taking off his fur. He also loved the feel of it and would sit patiently. Noki was husky/shepherd so was a giant shedding machine.
Finally ventured away from the local setting to see an outdoor play at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake. It was warm , different venue but wonderful, the gardens throughout the downtown are beautiful as expected and I bought my first batch of fresh peaches and apricots at a farm stand. Perfect day!

I seldom wish I was very wealthy and a size 4, but I watched this Giorgio Armani collection from beginning to end, open mouthed. It is full of elegant gorgeous clothing for women of all ages. If you are 25 you can wear it. If you’re 85 you can wear it.They are feminine and eminently wearable. For these clothes I might become a Lady Who Lunches.
And I think they would all look good in a decade too although probably the pant length would be a problem.

It is best to watch the clothes as they move along the runway because they flow beautifully. But here is a slideshow if you don’t want to invest time watching a video.

Well, it was fun to look at the outfits. The fitted shoulder and loose pants are into fashion, it seems. I loved 4/69, thought 33/69 looked like a pot scrubber but 55/69 was a gorgeous gown.
Thanks for posting this, IL.

I'll watch the video when I have time, but I did scroll through the slideshow, and I think the looks were beautiful. On a personal level, I related most to the concepts with the jackets--for some reason I always gravitate to wearing blazers or cropped jackets or anything like that, so I think that that ones with a jacket particularly resonated.
IRL, I have tried to go "high fashion" a couple of times with horrible results. One time, at the Manchester VT outlets I bought an expensive Ellen Tracy skirt and embroidered jacket that I loved, and never wore it once. I wound up donating it to Goodwill. I have very, very simple preferences for myself in clothing, but that doesn't keep me from thinking more elaborate outfits aren't completely gorgeous on someone else. Simply put, I don't like drawing attention to myself, so I stick to solids and neutrals. I truly should have been a nun.

I liked it a lot as a collection, but wouldn't likely wear anything so formal. Number 38 stands out as a favorite.
In contrast to Catherine, I liked the loose, cropped pants best.
