I had no idea vacuuming could be this much fun! After one full day of initial charge, I used my iRobot Roomba 4230 Remote Scheduler Robotic Vacuum for the very first time this afternoon. This thing is so amusing that both BooBoo and I couldn’t help ourselves but followed it around all over the house.

It is like watching a very stubborn blind man, who tries to earn his keep in your house and would not stop at anything. Every time it bumps into an object, a wall, a foot… it turns slightly toward a different angle, going over and over through every part of the floor. It picked up all the kitty hair! The most shocking thing is Roomba found its own way back to the charger, and docked itself, and there the shimmering charging red light appeared… almost in a creepy way

Roomba was on my shopping list on Amazon for more than a year, I can’t believe I didn’t get it sooner!

Update: hmm, there is a newer & improved model since September 2007, darn… iRobot 560 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, Black and Silver

Met the sweetest and the most beautiful 4-year-old female show pug during a walk in Central Park almost 2 years ago, since then, I have a thing for pugs. You can’t really call me a traitor since they are quite small in size, and they look almost, “almost” like Siamese (ok, I am pushing it…) But, hey, they are cute, and much easier to care for than a ChowChow — that is my entire other thing — I love them for their lioness good looks. One day, just maybe one day, I will have a pair of Pugs and a gorgeous cream ChowChow along with a whole dozen of British Shorthair Blues and Lilacs… so I dream on a world where cats and dogs and all creatures live in harmony and peace…

I got this pug purse as a surprise gift, I know an unknow force is trying to end my babbling about getting a pair of pugs, and also stop me from my attempt to turn my home into a zoo. This adds number 4 to my animal purse collection — doesn’t seem like I will grow up any time soon…

During my search for related pug blog entries, I found this touching little video in an entry by Lori, I am not one of those girls who would woo and ahh at the sight of a little kid, but I often feel that an animal is worth a thousand human souls.

That blog entry reminds me of the poor overly sensitive 3-year-old Misty, a gorgeous female Brit in Long Island, New York, who needs a new home without human children. She is from the same wonderful breeder as my boys.

Would anyone give her a loving home?
