We have a border collie who is an inside/outside dog. She'd previously had the run of the house, so we made the changes before bubba came so she wouldn't associate her limitations being caused by DS! When there's a storm on, she wants to hide under his cot as it must be the best enclosed hidey hole in the house for her. So we introduced her to the shower and now she goes there.

Our concern wasn't the hair so much as her reaction to bubs- she has a part-time 'job' (sounds strange doesn't it?) on a farm and we didn't want her thinking DS was up for grabs, or that she needed to herd him. They interact with each other, she's interested in him, no more, no less but I would never ever leave her alone with him, even though DS thinks she's the most hilarious thing he's ever seen
