I do need to get a face mask. Maybe a hazmat hood. I did get hay in the eye once already My eye looked real bad. You know, I find hay everywhere lately! I went to the bathroom at work the other day and saw a piece of hay in the toilet! No wonder my behind itched a little.

It's like, it has gotten out of control! There's no avoiding it. I find poos in my shoes. Everything! Ahhh...it's lovely to have 6 boars living in your bedroom in a tiny Brooklyn apartment.

Well, with two 2x5 cages, it might use a lot of tape and lint brushes.

So, several years ago, I started buying this stuff called Static Guard. It's an aerosol can that I spray on my hair brush (because it doesn't leave a residue) and sometimes directly on my hair...I wonder if you could use the same on the fleece since it doesn't leave a residue?

I get it in the laundry aisle of the grocery store...it has an orange cap and it's a blue can. Use on the fleece WITHOUT the pigs on it (as I know you know, Miss, but just in case someone else is reading this)...maybe it would work?
I use hand lotion in a pinch to get static out of my hair. Too much bleaching - so my hair is dry and very static-y. If I am out and it starts acting up, I just grab the lotion out of my bag. You have to rub it in a little though, or it has a "There's Something About Mary" type effect.
