I swear I'll never complain again about doing all the cleaning myself! My mom's not been well, my brother is useless so if they see dog hair or pawmarks, if they want it cleaned immediately, they are welcome to grab the Electrolux and do a sweep or 2. If not, 2 tears in a bucket, it'll have to wait til I have the time or feel like it..altho I do force myself to vacuum once a week "just in case". I'm not a neat freak but the house is liveable and decent and our 4 walls will be around a lot longer than we willl! Besides, no outfit is complete without dog hair!!!!!
