Does your doodle try to eat the hair you pull out of his/her brush?

[Frannie & Callie]

Like everyone (I think), I pull the hair out of Callie's brush when it looks like there's a bunch in it. I usually put it all on a paper towel, to throw out once we're done with the brushing. Callie always tries to eat it. I of course do not let her, but she ALWAYS really wants too! She's knocked over a trash can before and gotten to it. She even wanted to eat he hair from Wilbur's brushing today. Why does she crave hair???

[Frannie & Callie]

Callie likes those too! She just doesn't always discriminate when it comes to anything she "thinks" is consumable!

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Ned also doesn't like being brushed!! ha ha

OMG - Chewie does this too. I thought it was sooo strange. Glad he is not alone.

[Leslie and Halas]

Yes, Halas does this, too. He doesn't usually take it while I'm brushing him, but if a clump falls off the table, he'll pick it up off the floor later and try to eat it. That doesn't go well, so I have to go get the soggy clump of hair out of his mouth.

[Rose]

Yes. Blaze does this too!

[Lisa and Summer]

Summer does this also. With my lab I used to pull the hair out of the brush and let it blow in the yard because I heard that birds like to use it to build in their nest. But I cannot do that with Summer because she will chase it down and eat it. Sometimes my husband will ball it up and stick it to a tree branch for the birds in the spring.

Hmmm this sounds familar !

[Tante & Jordan & now Annie!]

Jordan does not eat her hair but my cat MJ will...she is a strange cat.MJ will even lay on it so I "forget" that she is on it,so she can eat it later.

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Yep, Gracie Doodle does it too!!!

[Frannie & Callie]

I feel sooo much better that so many of y'all are having this happen too. I still think it's weird, but at least Callie's weirdness is in good company!

[Marla]

Honey does it too! Whenever I trim a bit of her very curly hair she's right there trying to have a snack!

[Cathy, Wally and Peaches]

Wally LOVES to eat his hair and his sister's hair (a Havanese) - also likes to eat the sand spurs that I pull out of his hair.
