No that's not a Gremlin that was fed after midnight. That is the puff of hair that I removed from Gracie with our new FURminator. They even have a flobie edition that you can hook directly to your vacuum. This is seriously the best dog brush I've ever used. My house is less hairy now overall (as in I only had to sweep and vacuum twice this week instead of daily).
