hm, you think that's why ? could be... but actually i just love the word "y'all". not only is it a funny word (and i mean that in the best possible way, all y'all southerners !!), it's also very useful. in french we have two forms of "you" : tu is singular / familiar, and vous is plural / formal. english used also to have two forms with the same function, thee and thou, but those died out. i can't understand why ; i think it's really useful to have a second person pronoun that is explicitly plural.

(hm... maybe we should start a campaign to bring back thee and thou !!!)

I would need the same version, only to pick up Sheltie hair. When we were considering getting a Sheltie, someone told me that the shedding wasn't really that big of a problem. Let me tell you, it is a BIG problem! I asked the groomers about having him shaved for the summer. She just looked at me in horror! He's got a very beautiful coat and coloring.

i've frequently been tempted to shave both of my cats and just put little sweaters on them in winter. it would make cleaning my house SOOO much easier. not to mention the eternal problem of cat fur on my clothes, arg ! that drives me crazy !!! both my cats seem to have made their primary goal in life the production of as much fur as possible, which they will disseminate in the greatest possible quantity, everywhere. they're just like fur factories.
