  Something wierd is going on around here!!! Momma hasn’t been around as much lately, she kept muttering something about “poor Thumper”. . . Then she got happy, but she locked Henri and me in the basement!! Worse yet, she took us to some bad lady who poked and prodded me and did other horrible things! Then she lets me upstairs today and I can smell them!!! There are more bunnies here!!! I’m gonna find them! Mom didn’t think I could get to the kitchen counter but I showed her!!! (She’s still trying to figure it out!) Too bad they weren’t hiding there. . . Mom keeps telling me they are gone now but I know she’s just hiding them! Rest assured, I will leave no corner (or counter) unsearched, I will find them! . . . . Off to search, back with updates.

  Go Acorn – you show your Momma who’s the smart one in the house – I know you won’t rest until you get to the bottom of it.

  When I first read this I was going who is Momma…getting really confused! Then I got it. Very funny. Tell Acorn & Henri they have the best mom in the world. It could have been worse -Thumper could have moved in! So give your mom a break you little devils!

  Acorn again. . . I’m back, and with visual aids. . .
  
  That’s me, I was sniffing out the invaders when mom attacked me with the flashy box.
  
  I did my best to look innocent of course but can you blame me for being suspicious? Look at the mess they left. . . . Although, it is ALFALFA scraps, hmmm, maybe they aren’t too bad.
  
  I gave mom the bunny butt to get her to go away. She’s a wierd one though, she always tells me I have a “cute bunny butt”. . . . humans
  
  I went off exploring but then I HAD to come back to the living room because there were wierd noises. . . . I was SURE I had found them. . . . instead I found,
  
  A bunny paradise! But where did IT come from?

  Haha, yeah, not sure why but I enjoy giving a voice to my animals sometimes. . . . Acorn was in a very fiesty mood last night as you can probably see.

  Oh no, you’re definately not. I am currently having a war with my vacuum. It doesn’t like me and I don’t like it. . . . come to think of it, Henri doesn’t like it either! I think it is about time to just trash the one I have and get a new one. . . the stupid thing is ALWAYS clogged, no matter how much I sweep the carpet first.

  i take a hand vac and pick up the bigger stuff before i use the push vac. it helps with the clogging issue, but alas, it doesn’t resolve it.

  I spent the better half of an hour cleaning out my clogged vacuum. I’d have to turn it on, have it shoot a plug of hay to the bag and get jammed, dig out the 2 inches of hay there and then repeat the process. Did it about 8 times before it cleared the vacuum and I could put on a new bag…

  We have some kind of never-ending dust here that stops me from finishing a room for hours every time. I have to stop to clear out my vacuum every ten minutes or less. Nevermind the cat/dog hair that is constantly sticking to my carpet…not to mention my own hair, which is thinning almost worse than it was when I was on chemo. >-<
  Add to this that I have allergies…from the minute the vacuum starts up, I am sneezing.
  I want one of those Kirby vacs that are supposed to be indestructible! ^^
  
  BTW, Angoragrl, REALLY enjoyed the adventures of Acorn, P.I.! I am curious as to the dimensions of the tube pictured? I have one, but I think it’s too small for my bun…he doesn’t seem to like it. Where did yours come from?

  The tunnel came from Leaf actually. I believe she said her dog used it for agility so it is pretty big tunnel. It’s about five feet long. . .
  
  That should give you a better idea of the inside size. . . . I swear that’s Henri and not a puppy dog (no one at work believes me)

  I gave up on regular vacuums when my son was young, I was forever burning them up sucking up those little toys. I have a ShopVac now and love it. If it will fit in the hose, it’ll suck it up and if I need to I can retrieve things when I empty the bucket. It’s a bit clumsy to pull around the house but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

  Acorn again, mom posted a picture of that abominal snowman. . . ugh, doesn’t she know I am the handsome one?
  
  I am sure there are no invading bunnies anymore, I searched every corner, and they have disappeared. I will get them next time though!
  
  That’s Ralph hanging out by the door. He’s a dog, but don’t worry, he knows I’m boss.

  Oh that’s so cute! (*ahem* Henri, you do realize you’re leaving a little trail of breadcrumbs behind you…?) ^^
  Hmmm…that looks much better. What a great way to give bunny a place to feel safe! I’ll have to see if I can find one.
  
  Yeah, shop vacs are great, my hubby has a few. He’s totally grossed them out with all sorts of nasty stuff though, so I wouldn’t use them in the house. But it might be worth a look.
  Oh I know, the Dyson is outrageously expensive. But it IS a nice vacuum! ^^ Ah well, I can dream! XD

  I can honestly say I am really surprised to hear rave reviews over the Dyson. Everyone I know who has bought one was imressed at first with them but ended up being very disappointed in them and they broke and ended up buying just a regular vacuum cleaner. I have a bagged Hoover Wind Tunnel and it works great, I think I paid $75 for it.

  God I miss my Dyson. NEVER hoover up plaster dust with one!!! We then got an expensive bagless cyclone hoover thing and it was complete crap, it was easier to sit on the floor and use it, and to get ANYTHING fur like off the rugs you’d have to scrub with the end like mad. Now we have a REALLY powerful Vax thing and the only minus is that it is SO loud, to hoover in the bedroom you have to keep the upright in the hallway and wedge the tubey bit through the bedroom door – or take the buns out the bedroom altogether. Now that little beauty was free with 100 reams of paper from viking direct! lol MUCH cheaper than a Dyson and works just as well.
