Beautifully Disgusting

With two Siberian Huskies, it gets pretty hairy around here!  I have to vacuum at least every couple of days or we're all knee deep in it.  Well, maybe not knee deep, but everyone that comes in our home will leave furry.

Just before we left for our Oregon trip, my vacuum stopped working.  It had already been a couple of days since I last ran the vacuum.  Uh-oh.

Then I went on the trip and came back.  And you know how it is when you return from vacation~ There always seems to be lots of catching up to do with laundry, grocery store shopping, emails, etc.  So I only got around to shopping for my new vacuum cleaner just today.  (Why is is called a vacuum cleaner anyway?  It seems wrong as I'm typing it here.  Shouldn't a vacuum cleaner be something that cleans a vacuum?  Anyway, I digress...)

I bought the kind of vacuum that doesn't require bags.  Bagless. And my particular model is the Pet Hair Eraser.  SOLD.  How could this not be the right one for me?

Well, I'm not in love with it.  I haven't gotten all the little attachments situated just so and they seem like they could pop off pretty easily.  And it's a little difficult to push, but maybe that is just a height adjustment situation.  I might fall in love eventually, but I'm easing into this slowly. But what I do love is emptying out the appropriately named "Easy Empty Dirt Container".

Not to gross anyone out but LOOK!!!

Ewwwww.  This was picked up from vacuuming 4 large area rugs.  Can you believe it?

Just in case you didn't see it in the first shot, I got in a little closer here.  EWWWWWW.

Ah, domestic thrills in my life.  I just had to share this, so thank you so much for listening.  And looking!  And now, I can invite you over without the risk of you leaving my house furry.

As I vacuumed, one of the little culprits to all the dirt and hair laid around watching me with a pretty smile on her adorable face...

How could someone this cute cause so much dirt?
