I ran down my Little Buddy!

**Veronica** · 02-26-2006, 04:34 PM

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.

V answers the age old question how to balance workout and home:

Train?

Clean the house?

Train?

Vac the carpet?

Company on the way do I train?

Clean up?

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

**yellow** · 02-26-2006, 05:23 PM

Oh my! I saw this and thought "NO! V ran over her cat?????" Whew! Glad is was just Mr Vacuum!

That is TOO funny! I too thought more trajedy was involved!

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

Good thing it wasn't a squirrel.

**SadieKate** · 02-26-2006, 06:04 PM

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

Yikes, for a second there I thought you ran Thom over

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?

I sure hope V's Dyson never gets stuck under the wheel of her trainer!

We've got one of those guys too - Chloe hates it. I walked into the back room where it's "docked" one night, she is lying there, pointing at it, with her hackles raised, asleep! The ever vigilant corgi - on guard even at rest.....

**Pedal Wench** · 02-26-2006, 07:35 PM

Do those things work? I've always wanted one and last week, Home Depot had one on sale. I go through vacuum cleaners like crazy - I've got a Newfie mix - 125 lbs. of fluffy black hair EVERYWHERE. I also like the Dyson concept - again - does it work? Will it last?

Like the others I thought it was going to be sad.. Kinda geared myself up for a "and then my puppy darted out the front door after me into the path of my front wheel"... But LUCKILY I just spit my water on my keyboard!!

I want one of those! Actually I want the new "scooba" wet vac (same idea as the roomba) for my tile downstairs! Here in AZ we have more hard surfaces than carpet- it's a dusty desert thang..
