I'm SO frustrated

A couple of years ago, my sister-in-law next door more or less permenantly loaned me a Fuminator to use on Sadie, who was a pretty bad shedder.  I used it on her regularly for awhile, then got lazy about it and thought, "I may as well put this up for now."  
I now have a dog whose shedding makes Sadie look, in retrospect, like an amateur.  I need that Furminator.
But I've forgotten where I stored it.  
Here's what's strange:  I distinctly recall thinking to myself when I moved it from its spot in the kitchen, "Are you sure you'll remember where you're putting this?"  
So why can't I remember where I put it?  
It's doubly exasperating because it isn't mine to lose, for pete's sake.  
I know I didn't throw it away, but I spent over an hour today looking in closets and boxes and in drawers and on shelves.  I extended my search to the garage.  No luck whatsoever.  


In other news, the peaches will soon be ripe.  They're already developing a nice blush.  I'm afraid that limb that's so loaded with peaches will break; we've already lost two limbs, and those peaches get heavier every day.  I've done my spraying this year, so hopefully I won't lose so much of my crops to worms.  Last year I was eating peaches on August 1.

Got a dog that sheds? (thanks for the heads-up, daughter Rachel)

The worst thing about my dog Sadie is her shedding. Even though she's short-haired, she has an undercoat that puts more hair in my house (and in my Dyson) than you can imagine.

Cliff's sister Rena lives next door now, and she loaned me this little item:


It's the Furminator!

Can you see all those hairballs I got off Sadie? That isn't even half of them; some blew away. And I'll bet if I wanted to spend another hour, I'd get three times as many.

And Sadie can rest SO much better now that she knows she won't be shedding as much. I just took this shot of her under the baby bed in my computer room; it's her favorite spot, especially when I'm at the computer.

I see the Furminator is pricey, but I say it would be worth every penny.
