The animals met the Animal

It's no secret our house has a hairy dog problem......with 190 lbs of hairy dog, no vacuum stands a chance. Both B and I had our own vacuums from our single days, but they have been dying a slow miserable death since the addition of Bella to our household. My poor vacuum has suction, but the brushes don't turn anymore (even after replacing the belts and cleaning everything out). It fought a brave fight for 7 years, but alas it's time has come. B's vacuum was literally held together with masking tape, and not really working very well, more just spreading the hair in a fine layer across our carpet. We do have a Roomba, but it just can't keep up with the hairy duo's output.

So after much debate, we decided on a Dyson vacuum, as many pet owners seem to be pleased with the vacuum. I realize it must seem mundane to get excited about a vacuum, but this is a really cool vacuum. It's so easy to use, and it's just so effective. The bin was completely full after just vacuuming our living room, although it's slightly horrifying to think about the amount of dirt we've been wallowing in. It's so well designed, and the attachments will be great for cleaning furniture and floors. I'm just really with it so far.

The true test will come when Bella blows coat, as it literally looks like it's snowing inside our house. I think the Dyson is up to the challenge though!
