Vaccum for dog hair - Page 8

I do once in a while, but she mutters something about Elvis and then she gets tears in her eyes and I just leave her alone :-) Seriously though, we have a fairy tale story in our relationship. Lived across the street from her during our childhoods. One day, I was 9 and she was 7, and I say her struggling to carry a carton of pop bottles to the corner store (back in 62' you got 2 cents for each bottle), and I offered to carry them for her. Next thing I knew, we were going "steady" (no one does that anymore), engaged and married. Neither one of us has ever dated anyone else (as far as I know) ;-) Truth is, I am the lucky one.

Aw I see...you spoiled her. Let her live with my man for a week, she will forever be greatfull for your cleanliness. She has no idea what pigs are out there. ;D

It sounds to me like you both have a lot to be thankful for. Congratulations on a lasting marriage; my first was a dud LOL.

Blitzen- I did the next best thing: I had a dumpster delivered. It resides just off the driveway...PERMANENTLY!... not far from the burn barrel I finally burned the bottom out of... :-D Housekeeping-challenged Shelley

Blitzen and other clean and/or neat freaks, Dyson is the one to buy. Trust me. Come try it out in a house that is 1400 square feet and has 6 dogs living in it, with two cats and me. Again, the only things I dislike is the fact that I pull so much fur and dirt up that I have to empty it three or four times just doing about 1/3rd of the space in my house. And it is a pain to change to the attachment that would go under the couch or under the edge of the counters in the kitchen. But bar none, and believe me, I have had and used them all, it is the best on the market for horsepower and that is what you need for pulling all this stuff up. Blitzen, I have to RV hookups here, everything you need, so drive on out and spend a month. Maybe by that time you will have tired of cleaning! And while you are at it, organize away LOL. Do Right---- what a guy! You are a rare find I think and I hope your wife appreciates you!

I'd love to, Hodie, however I must warn you of the real possiblity of one or both of those cats being "accidentally" sucked into the Dyson cannister. Cats give me hives LOLOL.

Blitzen, If the cats disappeared, the dogs would be heartbroken. So I guess you will just have to help only in the kennel building, but not the house. Also, one cat, Geoffry, is the love of my life and I would be devastated if he were missing...... "For I will consider my cat, Geoffrey. For he is the symbol of the living God, duly and daily serving Him. For at the first glance of the glory of God in the east, he worships in his way, and this is done by wreathing his body seven times round with elequent quickness. For he knows that God is his Savior. For God has blessed him in the variety of his movements. For there is nothing sweeter than his peace while at rest. For I am possessed of a cat, surpassing in beauty from whom I take ocassion to bless Almighty God." Christopher Smart - Jubilate Agno (17th century)

Now you went and made me feel bad for not liking cats..........OK cats are nice and I will try harder to like them rather than only wanting to suck them up with my Dyson LOL.

Blitzen, Just in case you want to suck up mice, read this from the same Christopher Smart writing as above: "For the mouse is a creature of great personal valor. For this is a true case: Cat takes female mouse, male mouse will not depart but stands threatening and daring "" If you will let her go, I will engage you, as prodigious a creature as you are"". For the mouse is a creature of great personal valor. For the mouse is of an hospitable disposition". So, use your Dyson for sucking dirt, fur etc. Not critters LOL. Best regards.

Just heard yesterday that Dyson now has a new improved Pet Vacuum in the stores and it costs about $550 -- a $50 price increase. It claims to clean pet hair even better than the first one (this is the third model). Does anyone have this and if so how good does it work?
