It's so weird. I just picked up a new one today too, and "she" is in shed as well. I use the genderization term very loosely

I'm pretty sure my house is a college dorm too - everyones taking their clothes off..

Though - when Sable shed, I was able to untangle it before it dried up and I have it all flattened out - its the most perfect one he has ever shed. Its so awesome I'm keeping it.
