They are home now, I spent yesterday vacuuming the whole first floor of my house. Some of that fuzz just does not come off. Sent my den rug to the cleaner today. Hands and knees on the floor with 3 scatter rugs and a velcro type lint brush---after the vacuuming. All this gave me an opportunity to wash the den floor-that was the good side.

Love all animals but will not volunteer for dog sitting again. Too stressful. It was like having two ponies in 2 rooms with me.
