Tanker--I would have thought you of all people would know about the hirsute nature of European women and their complete aversion to shaving ANYTHING.
How can you NOT notice that? I mean, I understand that airedales like Thor don't care as long as it's warm and has a pulse (and those are optional if the price is right...)
Well, one thing you can do is bungee-cord their arms to their sides. They can't flop their arms such that you can count the braids.
The pelt on the legs is another matter, though. Sometimes you just have to work your way through the mass of hair. Just turn the lights out and pretend it's a lumpy blanket.
And the other pelt too, of course.
