Best Vacuum Cleaner Ever

In January I began checking all the websites on vacuum cleaners because my old Eureka just wasn't pickin' up very good anymore. During my search I realized that there has to be at least a few people who hate every vacuum cleaner on the market. I found people who seem to make a career of being a critic about everything...ya know what I mean?? Well, not to belabor the point, but I did make a choice and I am just as pleased as I can be with the vacuum cleaner of my choice.

Drum roll.....the Bissell 3760-2 Lift off Revolution for Pet Hair. We've been cleaning and cleaning and cleaning and are still getting dog and cat hair out of our carpet. My husband actually raves about the amount of dirt that has been cleaned up (and he does actually vacuum for me). This is the first time for us to have a bagless vacuum cleaner so that did take some getting used to. I don't mind cleaning the filters - i just look at the dirt and hair that is no longer on my floor and I smile. At least the mice can't eat holes in all my vacuum cleaner bags anymore!!! I found out that package tape works on the bags, but it's not too efficient. That was sooooo rude.

So, I became ruder to the mice....I hired me a good cat. Take that one mousies!! And he is good. His name if Rupert...more on him later.

What a smart dog!!!

Let me introduce you to my grand puppy. His name is Boston. He weighs approximately 100 # and is grand mix of half Rotweiller, quarter Great Dane and quarter golden Labrador retriever. Boston is nearly 3 years old and belongs to my son. I thought that having a dog would be good for my son to learn a sense of responsibility for another living being and perhaps prepare him for parenthood someday.

My son is good with his dog - he trained Boston and he sleeps in his room at night, however, my son is getting to the age when he wants to be independent. He is 22 years old and still lives at home because it is very expensive out there for a young man to establish a place of his own. We allow him the freedom to do what he wants and he is loving and considerate of us and his dog. Except for when his bff comes home on leave from college....then the dog and us old folks take back seat (of course).

Boston just came to me for a hug and he was trying to get Grandma to go feed him. Now, Grandma has never fed him since he was a very small puppy. I always have, however, when he wants me to be sure to go get his food, he bugs Grandma. Go figure!!! I told him to get get his bone and he did!!! What a smart dog!!
