It's been a year. Why not ? Because my two big, clumsy labs skid on the wooden floor of the landings and whomp into the wall. I'm afraid if I take the carpet off the rest of the stairs, they'll kill themselves! <br /><br />Question: have you thought of a Roomba and do you think it will work with dog hair?

A spinner could probably have spun quite bit of yarn by now. It also seems like I could have assembled more than 1 dog and 2 cats from the fur that I've thrown away. I used to think that having a Dyson vacuum where you SEE what you vacuum up was a good thing (satisfying and Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9393658.post-36240414842934589612014-01-21T11:07:23.173-08:002014-01-21T11:07:23.173-08:00With all the cats in this household I could probab...With all the cats in this household I could probably make another one with all the fuzz they shed!<br /><br />#11 is spot on!

I pay $2 for the kid...bwahahahaa...this is AWESOME!<br />I pay $2 for the kids to vacuum the stairs. It is a job I loathe.
