May I ask you all a silly question?

Ty, I think it doesn't live up to its hype or price. A recent rating (CR?) I saw placed it way down the list. You can get two better vacs for the price of one Dyson.

And with a shedding dog, you should NOT get a bagless vac. Emptying the cup (frequently) is messy and inconvenient and the dirt seems to get all over the vac's mechanical works, which I would bet shortens its lifespan.

Consumer company that polls all the other consumer companies. It notes that the Dyson people have a pet hair specific vacuum.

I'd like to take this moment to thank the Displaced Dog and the Puppy for not shedding.

Yep. But in my defense, they sound so much alike.

Yep. I react to the posts as I come to them. I don't scroll then post. I never will. Think of it as one my charming little habits. Or one of my annoying little habits. I don't much care which. If you don't like it, then just scroll past my posts, put me on ignore, or learn to live with it.

Peace.

With all my other requirements, if I added "Men Who Don't Think Farts Are Funny" to my list, I would either become a spinster or have to marry a gay guy in denial.

Wait, let me check....

Yes.

And let's just say that I wouldn't be the one evicting her. I am relatively happy to live amid growing mounds of dog hair, so long as it does not gather in front of the television or the fridge. I am, however, the one who let's her out first thing in the morning and last thing at night, if you needed any additional confirmation that I am a man.

My favorite Jimmy Hat-related lyrics:

What's up wit the skins?
I said, yo, I just got deep
Did it cost a lot?
Naw, the boots were cheap
Costed me some time and a little bit of sleep
a fresh jimmy hat and some kosher meat
