I also love my Shark Rotator Professional. It isn't overly heavy and 7 years later still picks up like it always did. I have 5 dogs all shedders. Another huge reason that I love it is that I can easily break it apart to wash the components with SOAP and WATER! I bought extra filters so I do not have to wait for them to dry again. I wash the canister and filters after every use. I am kind of lazy, so clearly this an easy thing to do or I wouldn't do it every time, haha. I have a wonderful woman who helps me with cleaning every two weeks and she asks to keep one of my Sharks at her house whenever we go on vacation. (She'll be getting one from me next Christmas-great lady and a real champ to clean for me all these years with 5 dogs under foot!) Being able to wash it means I don't end up with that funky dog smell while using it. After using it for a while I decided to buy one for every level of my house. I waited for sales. With 5 dogs they are not groomed as well as they should be so this vacuum has been a wonder.

Well ... I've just had another damn haircut! Went back to the guy who cut it last week when I was attempting the messy bob, but found it took too long to get it right before work in the mornings so I was just blowing it out straight, and it was a bit too long to lay right. I'm now shorter on the sides and in back, and very pleased with how simple it is to style this baby into a swinging little bob. I'm done with the changes for now. Only took a month of multiple stylists and entirely too much money to arrive at a style I'm loving. (Eeek. Entirely too much obsession over hair here!)

You’re hair is very much like my DD’s. You both can wear any style beautifully and never seem to have a bad hair day. I like your newest cut a lot, it’s a little edgy and really cute. Unless it has lots of body, (which mine doesn’t) thick hair really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I just had my hair thinned and 4 inches cut off and I still it feel like I’ve got a mop on my head. My hair also grows super fast which doesn’t help the cause either. Gahhh!!!

Thanks Flower! We give you a reward on this forum! :-) 9’ tall? Would 6’ deer fence work? Electric fence is cheaper than deer fence I think. But I only can use it at the countryside in PA. I don’t think I could use electric fence at the place we are in the process to buy in NY state, I have to use a deer fence. It has a few acres of open field and more acres of woods in the far back. When we pulled in the driveway for viewing, there was a deer at the end of the circular , it didn’t even ran away, it just looked at us, and slowly walked away. I knew I’d have a big problem there growing roses. I thought about line up potted rose trees around the circle, but the deer would eat all the blooms. I could use the spray like Diane. But that means I can’t have a lot of roses there, it would be a lot of work spraying after each rain. We have a lot of rain here.
