Dyson (Monster)

We (or rather mom) was one of the ones selected by Dogster and Dyson to Product Test the new Dyson DC28 Airmuscle vacuum, goes on sale June 7th, 2009.
Product Testing for Dyson
We got one a few weeks ago and mom was a cleaning nut. Then she started having problems with the monster, didn't hurt our feelings at all. I would chase mom and that DC28, while the other went in hiding! I thought maybe that airmuscle monster was afraid of me and just stopped. BOL !! But no, mom, Dogster HQ and Dyson talk, next thing I know there is another one being delievered.
Well now I will tell you mom's side. You would not believe the way this machine picks up dog hair and dirt. Mom knew the old vacuum wasn't picking up the hair like it should but I had no idea how bad it was until she used this. She said the air even seems cleaner. you should hear her on the phone with family and friends. She even told my human aunt that when she goes to Texas to visit she will take it with her and vacuum her house. She said she would do the aunts houses and nana's house. Told them after they see how great this Dyson DC 28 AirMuscle is they will buy one. Even had a friend of a friend that mom doesn't even know call and mom told her about it and she is going to go buy one next week when it hits the stores. Mom was telling her things like, it has 2 filters, that you just rinse about every 3 months and let dry, it is a little heavy but not to bad. Mom said if everyone else had 5 dogs that shed you do have to empty the canister a lot and it would help if that was a little bigger but she doesn't think after using it regular she will have to empty it as much as the first few times.
Mom said now if she can get us to sit next to it with out me trying to bite it and SassyGirl being scared of it she will put a picture of the monster on our page!
Thank you Dogster and Dyson! (mom's words not mine!!)

I am the Boss!!

All the furs (even the fosters know it right from the start) in this house know, the house and the yard (mom too! even though she doesn't always go along with me) that I am the protector and ruler!
If we are all out in the backyard and someone goes by the outside of the fence, I make them get on the deck and stay until I think they are safe to get back in the yard. Well!! that little furball Rascal decided he would try to keep me off the deck! What was he thinking! that little white rascal, started barking and jumping at me like he could keep me from getting on the deck! I let him get by doing it a few times, when I decided he was serious!!! So I decided to take charge, I start to get on the deck (after the 5th time) Rascal barking his little head off and jumps at me, I growl and bark and jump back at him, BOL !! he jumps back and starts running to mom! BOL !! runs and stays under mom and starts barking at me. He must have thought mom was going to take his side. She kinda did, she told me to leave him alone but she also told Rascal to hush!
For about an hour he just laid there, didn't bother me. Well a big truck pulled up to the house so I made all of them get on the deck so I could peek through the gate and see what it was. checking back to make sure they were staying where they were suppose to. But here comes Rascal! What was he thinking!! I checked the gate to make sure it was ok for me to leave my post and went after Rascal! SassyGirl didn't like that so she joins forces with Rascal, they both start barking at me and run at me!! SO I show some teeth, they both stop, Rascal looks at SassyG like what do we do. SassyG takes a step forward, I jump at her and bark, she wised up and ran back to the deck, that just left Rascal in the yard alone with me!! he realized he was all alone and took off, straight to the door, where mom was standing! She has been telling me for a long time, that I am not the boss of the backyard. she made me and Rascal come in an lay down for a "break" while Boogie, who the whole time listened to me and did what I said and SassyG got to play.
This is all that furball Rascal's fault. If he would just do what I say we could go play too!!

Today is my 5th Birthday!

Woohoo!! Today is my birthday, been here 5 yrs. Mom said she is so happy too, cause the first few years she wasn’t sure I would make it to be 5. Not sure why, something about me eating the concrete, eating the hall wall, eating holes in the carpet. I chewed up mom’s Birkenstock shoes and dress shoes for work; I remember she wasn’t happy about that at all because she hadn’t even taken them out of the box.
Then there was the panty hose!!!! Mom said it is a good thing they game out! She doesn’t know I got them and ate them but at least I pooped them out! BOL !!!
Then there is the 2 sofa’s I’ve destroyed, I only say 2 cause the other 2 SassyGirl helped destroy them! Then there is under the bed! Did you know that there is this tasty material stuff under the bed and when you rip it off there are these silver springy things that you don’t want to get your nose caught in!
There is that noisy lawn mower that I hate so I chewed the tires on them, I have tried my best to get rid of the vacuum but those things don’t chew up to easy!
Of course there are the 1000’s of stuffed toys that have been de-stuffed, mom has stuffed them again and sewed them up just so I can take all that stuffing out again!
Think I will take a nap cause I’m sure later on mom will have me a steak and cake for my Birthday!
