Squeaky Clean

Posted on April 17, 2015 by onespoiledcat

Friday is cleaning day of course and while our house will NEVER – NEVER be “squeaky clean” , Mom and Dad do their best to get it at least presentable. I help. I really do. I put all my toys back in my toy wagon, I point out the dust bunnies to Mom, and most of all, I try to stay out of the way as much as possible.

My thoughts on cleaning……

Mom’s thoughts on cleaning…….

Mom says she’s thinking of hiring a maid………..this is the one she says could probably do the best job. I say she’s SCARY.

EEEEEK!

Oh well………… it’s gonna be done whether I’m happy about it or not so I guess I’ll just toddle off and wait until things settle down then I can come back and get on the computer again. I’ve got a lot of work to do to get ready to go to Paris tomorrow. My “Sammy’s Travel Group” at Cat Scouts are heading off to Paris! Can you believe it? I’ll have lotsa photos next week you can just bet! Including at least one of me hang-gliding off the Eiffel Tower. Which reminds me, we have a SURPRISE GUEST hang-gliding with us……wonder who THAT will be? You’ll just have to wait and see!

Happy Friday

Hugs, Sammy the Dust Bunny Hunter

Sammy, I have some doubts if that is really the right maid for your house …. maybe such a maid-robot-thingy would be the ideal helper? Have a great time in pawris and don’t furgt to eat a truckload of Meowcarons :o)

Motor Mommy mentions a maid every once in awhile….but that hasn’t happened yet. Although Motor Man keeps telling her to do it…. We’ll see.
Happy Cleaning Day, Sammy!

As I’ve mentioned before, my human and her boyfriend have a housekeeping service that comes by a couple times a month – and Binga and I often supervise them! We need to make sure they are doing their job properly. I don’t think we’d like the maid your human is considering.
