I must be absolutely right out of my mind. I have bought something so wacky even I cannot believe I did this.

Each of you get five guesses.

The first one that guesses correctly gets a prize that I will mail to your home (info by p/m please)!

Now, no cheating - two of you already know what it is and trust me everyone - they are relentless in their teasing!

:D :D (and I deserve it!)

I will be gone all day Saturday, so if I don't respond - that's why.

Darn, you all will make such good guesses and then everyone is going to be disappointed when they find out.

Now Randi is the closest anyone has come to guessing so far.

I am laughing so hard here - I left the computer for a few minutes and just look what I have started.

Lexi_Lover - NO!
Roxy - NO!
Karen - NO!
Slick - o.k. you will never let me forget that the bathtub
plugged up just as I WAS USING IT. No mention of the three of you that used it before me huh? Well, I did only get one leg shaved - so I guess I deserve it. BUT NO - that isn't it.

Maya and Inka - No!

Karen - what a wonderful thought - our own Pet Talk playground.
Boy, if I win the $250,000,000. lotto tonight........it would be possible though.

PJ's Mom :D :D
Suki - NO!
Cookie - NO!
Roxy - NO!
Jen- you found my plugged up plumbing funny huh?:D :D

I think I threw you all off the track because I mentioned Rupert.
My car has a name too - Scotty (The Toyota Highlander).

Lexi_Lover

Hmmm...I'm thinking perhaps a Dyson vacuum cleaner?! I have one and it sucks great! :o
Did I just say that? :p

Some other things that I could see us using at the house of orange include:

a karaoke machine
a slide projector/screen package
a...um...you know...you have some ice cubes in the shape of these...

:p

09-16-2005, 05:54 PM

09-16-2005, 05:57 PM
I'm not EVEN going to try and guess...but I had to say that I got some wierd looks from laughing so hard!!

Rupert McBoobs? Hmmmm....

Ok ok...now I've come up with a guess
Maybe she bought a vaccum cleaner robot named Rupert that taught all the kitties how to vaccum up the hair themselves? :D

I think that if they had to clean up after all that fur, they'd figure out a way to be less er...generous with it!! ;)

Just couldn't resist!

When I get more time I will take pictures of Rupert and post them and tell you all about him.

All of Pet Talk knows now about Rupert - and I haven't told one single family member.

It is without a doubt the silliest thing I have ever bought - at least that I can recall...............

I have only had him for a few days - but so far he does a great job. He needs to be tamed though - he likes to explore the whole house - pretty nosey guy.

I went to a football game yesterday, so I had to leave Rupert and the kitties all to themselves.

But I will share with you that I am getting nothing but giggles out of Rupert.

On Friday I went into the - errrrr - a certain "room" in my house, closed the door and - uh - sat down - and turned on Rupert and watched him clean to his hearts content.

So the lesson is - you don't have to just "read" in that room - you can also vacuum at the same time.

Like I said earlier - I really think I need to get a life!!:D :D

I also put him under the bed. Well of course, I had to bend down to see what he was doing and guess what!!

Rascal is VERY JEALOUS of Rupert. He wouldn't leave me alone - he kept giving me head bumps - purring his head off and biting my hair. Rupert was only a foot away from him. I thought I would die laughing!

Just had to bring this up again. Meet Rupert. I've seen him in action in the very same room. Let me tell you his brushes swept me off my feet. What a job well done!!! I wanted to sneak him in my suitcase to bring him home but didn't know how Max would take a new addition. :rolleyes:

OMG!! I have NO idea how I missed this, but what a hilarious thread!!! Good thing the boss isn't here right now or I'd have been totally busted because I wouldn't have been able to shut this thread down! :D :D :D

I've often thought of getting one of these....how does it work on tile floors? Can Rupert transition easily between tile and carpet? I'm thinking of the motorhome. There is so little carpet that I don't need a vacuum, but the tile floor collects dust and dirt and dust bunnies like you wouldn't believe, not to mention kitty litter tracked all over.

Ok, enough of the seriousness, back to grinning from ear to ear over some of these guesses. :D

gini
03-10-2006, 09:44 AM
This is Rupert's Mother reporting in.................he is such a good boy - well, sort of a Momma's boy - but he is just too cute to not spoil.

Yes, there are days when I just let him run around the whole house.

This morning he was gobbling up coffee grounds that I had spilled on the kitchen floor..........and then he went into the den and took care of the leftover catnip on the carpeting that I had given to the kids last night.

He is always so cheerful about it too........he lets out the cutest sound when he is done with his chores - so pleased with himself.

The key to his happiness though, is to keep him clean - because you will be appalled at the amount of YOUR dirt he picks up.

He loves to roam around under the bed - but he complains saying that the kitties leave too much fur under there.

My little Ruppie..............Momma would never have let Slick steal you!!!

I think I missed this thread the first time, but after hearing the stories in California, it was quite funny to go back and read! Thanks for bumping it up Slick!!

Gini, be careful! On another forum I frequent one of the women's Roomba got to the remains of a kitty 'erpasode' before she did and the results were a mess throughout the house. Not that Rascal, Emma, or Annie ever have erpasodes, though, right?

Oh my goodness, what a horrible thought. Mine can be programmed with a remote to come on in the middle of the night and vacuum.

And I would want to do this WHY??? I thought it was an odd feature.

It does have little modules that can confine the space it cleans though.
