Today I Vacuumed my dog!

[boogernoodle]

        I consider myself a lucky woman.I have a beautiful home better than I could have dreamed.Big bedrooms,lovely appliances,huge yard and even (my favorite feature)a pool.I love my home.

         However like most women I have chosen to fill it up with things that really like to work against it's nice home feeling.Husband is cut some slack because he helps pay for nice home and is away from it for several hours a day.My two children are total home messers but with help from an anal mom are learning to help keep home looking less like a junk yard.Along with one husband two children and token dog we have adopted three local stray dogs.

        I love animals just as much as anyone.My heart whent out to the aforsaid stray dogs so we decided to share our lovely big yard with them.We live in the south so realistically with a nice doggy house,lot's of attention and care this should have worked out for my nice home...

       My doors are scratched,have already patched the pool liner,hole has been chewed in garage door(bad idea big dog in garage during storm)and countless other home repairs.To top it off one of the stray dogs is a total boob and needs to be attached to my side at all times.She's a weird mix of albino boxer and itchy sweater.She loves being indoors and has become a permanent feature on my nice home.It's ok that during my workouts her hair stabs me through my black stretch pants.It's ok that while drinking your morning cup of coffee you choke on dog fur.I can even live with the now (almost)daily doggy drool on my front window.

        I just can't stand seeing an extra dog's worth of shedding on my sofa.I can't stand it.I drape it in sheets,and have invested in every type of animal de shedder on the market.Today though I hit the jackpot.Whilst doing my daily rounds of de hairing my nice home it struck me!Why not go straight to the soarce?

             With trepidation I cautiousy fit my fancy pet vacuum with it's equally fancy pet hair tool.I approached my target with sweet words and determination.(ok mabey a beggin strip as well) and placed the tool on her hind quarter.She looked at me with giant buggy eyes and....

         I vacuumed my dog!She just sat there!I vacuumed the crap out of that dog and she just sat there slobbering and chewing a treat on my sofa.I was so excited,what a solution,the end of my pet hair woes!

Does anyone know how to get beggin strips and drool off of a sofa cushion?

If Only My dog would sit still, it would be heaven on earth to be able to vacuum him.
