When the weather outside is too cold to do anything out there – what do you do? CLEAN THE HOUSE! Yep – even if it wasn’t the usual day for housecleaning around here (which it is), we’d probably be doing it. There’s been a lot of in/out/in/out around here – trudging down to the mailbox at the bottom of the driveway, taking ME ME ME out on the front porch and down the sidewalk (now that it’s free of snow and ice!) and trips to the outside trash can…………..so even though Mom and Dad (not me of course) change shoes from “inside” to “outside” shoes, some dirt/sand/whatever gets inside.
Out comes the MONSTER………………..it handles it all – noisily of course but it’s handled!
I’ll tell you how it makes me feel Dr. Puppy, it makes me feel like my head will explode from the noise! BUT, I just go down to the basement and wait it out.
WHAT? ARE YOU TALKING? I CAN’T HEAR YOU!!!!
Before you know it – things are back to normal………………..
……zzzzzzzz………
I say normal but you know what? I’m not sure there is a “normal” around my house……………..if there is, he’s hiding in a closet somewhere and only comes out at night when we can’t see him. Probably goes to my treat bowl and helps himself. Watch it Mr. Normal……..I’ve got my EYES on you!
TWO Spoiled Cats 
Apparently changing shoes doesn’t help around here, either, S. But remember, I live in a house where there is vacuuming EVERY SINGLE DAY. It’s a good thing I made friends with the monster. I just don’t let it get too close.
Love and licks,
Cupcake

I agree about the vicious Vacula……sucks up EVERYTHING in sight……even a few times it’s tried to eat the CARPET! I stay clear of it – I don’t trust it – it’s got a light on its head so it can SEE through walls with x-ray vision. I’m sorry to hear you have one too……..Mom tells me everyone has one…….sounds like we all need a vacula exterminator!
