[Dailydrool] Sweepin up

[Elsamarie5 at cs.com]

Oh how I laughed at the drools about sweeping up after the "hairy monsters".  
I especially appreciated Synthia's comment about garbbing up the big clumps 
and ignoring the rest.  When we remodeled a few years back, we removed all the 
carpets and used tile throughout the whole house (incl. closets, etc.). We put 
in ceiling fans and now all we have to do is turn on the fans, the hairballs 
blow off into the corners and edges of the room,  then we suck'em up with the 
vacuum before company comes !!  I can't even imagine vacuuming every day, I am 
exhausted just thinking about it.
My hat's off to all you "go-getters", but I can't stand to take so much time 
away from tummy rubs and lap sessions on the sofa.
I cover the chairs and sofa with old comforters and remove them when I expect 
company. Archie Basset-person knows someone is coming when I do this, as soon 
as I start to remove a comforter, he heads for the front door, lays across 
the entry so no one can come throught the door unless they step over him.  He is 
addicted to tummyrubs and insists he get them before anyone can enter his 
house !!
I find that vacuuming the dogs helps to keep down on the sheddings, also we 
keep the air conditioning on 24/7 (been setting heat records at 112 degrees 
this summer) so that they don't seem to shed as much anymore.
