Twinkie hates the dust buster Today, when I attempted to dustbust two pillows on the couch, she ATTACKED it, teeth and all. If I can figure out how to record and get this up on YouTube, I will.

You dustbust your pillows? You're good! I hold them outside of a window and bang them together.

I want to see this...hee.

Pillows, they need to be dusted...?

Dustbusting the pillows is not a sign I'm a good housecleaner- the pillows had visible mounds of dog fur, blanket fluff and dust on them.

Do NOT take Twinkie near the trains. . .

Twinkie Hates The Dustbuster is the name of the electronica album that BoringPostcards and I will one day make.

HA! LT!

I bet that is so cute. I can see Twinkie now.

My dog attacks my broom. I trick her and pretend I'm sweeping out into the porch, she follows the broom, and then I shut the door so I can finish sweeping inside. I think she's catching on to my trick because she no longer follows the broom outside. Darn! Clever puppy!

My dog attacks my broom.

I have the same problem with my cat for some reason. Weird.

Both Oliver and Fanty (cats) attack the vacuum cleaner. Crazy beasts.

Twinkie also hates the Swiffer.

You know, my big bruiser of a cat is terrified of the vacuum cleaner (understandable), the broom (he was chased with it a few times when he was a hellacious kitten), and the ironing board (downright mysterious). I'm beginning to think that it is advisable to start blaming my housekeeping (or lack thereof) on compassion for the furry ones, and their mental health.

To get all SAT-ish on you, TPS, Twinkie: Dustbuster :: Coya : One of these beasts. Fortunately, for the most part, my dog is pretty sane when it comes to loud noises and whatnot, and she's used this stuff by now. That said, given her adoption fee was $40, buying a $110 vacuum to take care of her shedding seems ridiculous. But that hardcore pet-hair brush is the best. thing. ever.
