Thanks, Shelley, that was interesting. The word "blades" is what made me
wonder, but after seeing your description and knowing it is like a curry
comb, it does sound like something a dog would love.

Nope, actually Judson thinks it is an absolutely wonderful feeling. he acts
the same way when my friends who have long nails give him a good back
scratch.
I suspect if you really pushed down on it, and didn't use it the way it was
intended I guess it could do damage.
It is also called a Curry Comb in tack supply shops.
I can describe it if you like.
Basically it is a band of metal, with two leather handles, one at each end,
there is a "latch" on the one end and when you store it, it is in the shape
of a loop with the handles together.
To use it, you unhook it, and it forms a sort of a rainbow shape. One one
side of the metal, is a row of small metal teeth, some blades have teeth on
the other side too, mine doesn't.
To use it,
I zoom groom my dog to stir up the dead hair.
Then I take the sheeding blade, hold it in both hands, and starting at the
shoulder blades, I run it straight down Judson's back and off his tail in
one fluid movement. Imagine scraping mud off something, or for those of us
north ice off a windshield, it appears to be the same action. I go with the
lay of the hair, and once I have his back done, I "close" it and use it on
his legs and his thighs as a "brush" again with the lay of the hair.
Smile.
A really handy dandy tool.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Hey!
Does that blade hurt dogs? I mean does it cause them discomfort? Just
woondering, since I have never seen one.

Hi.
I was seventeen when I got my first guide. It was the summer before my
senior year in high school, and I was kind of worried about how people would
respond to having a dog in school. Luckily, my experience was pretty good.
No one was cruel to my guide. There was a lot of interest in her, of course,
and people did try to pet and feed her, thinking that I wouldn't notice.
However, the staff was very cooperative, and, by the end of my senior year,
she wasn't so much of a novelty anymore.
