Vacuum Cleaner


My brother and his family are arriving for a visit, and his wife is allergic to my cats, so they will be staying at our cottage. Great alternative right? Except for the fact that it has to be turned back into a home rather than an outpost. So Russ and I gathered supplies and headed back to the cottage with the intent of giving it a good "spring cleaning".


The vacuum cleaner is an essential tool in the "spring cleaning" arsenal and Russ thinks about as much of the vacuum cleaner as he does the Spot Bot. A first spot of the evil vacuum cleaner, he set off the alarm--"Danger Danger Will Robinson". When this failed to make me put away the devil machine, he tried herding it. This trick failed to bring about the desired action of throwing the vacuum cleaner in the garbage. However, it did make running the thing interesting, and we aren't talking about the fact that while trying to avoid vacuuming up the Corgi, I ended up in a pile on the living room floor.


He bid his retreat. Could he look more pathetic?
