While on my bike in the trainer. He dashed under my rear wheel and I came to a screeching halt.
Poor guy has a skid mark on him now. That will teach him to try to run around vacuuming when I'm training.

Yikes! My terrier would just LOVE one of these, it would keep her busy all day....

Poor Roomba!
I always wanted one of those, but I love my Dyson, too! It makes vacuuming fun, really!

OMG! I think attempts at origami would be much more difficult with a vaccum than a mere squirrel.

I, too, love my Dyson. I have a cat with the most ridiculously silky, fine, adherant hair, which she sheds non-stop (her motto: I eat to shed). The other cat is short-haired, and a prolific shedder as well (his motto: I live to track cat litter all over the house). The Dyson is the ONLY vacuum that can get both up. Although...an R2D2 vacuum cleaner could be fun for the whole family! Also the cats would have fun with a squirrel...am I getting off track here? Originally Posted by Nanci
