i love you, but you stink

So, I had 100,000,000 dog hairs to vacuum yesterday before my parents arrived. I think I got 'em all, but I'm certain George dropped at least 10/second whilst I vacuumed just to taunt me.  Ferdnick.

HOW TO REDUCE VACUUM ODOR:
Sometimes the "odor de dog" that wafts out of the vacuum is noxious. Here's a trick to keep it to a minimum: We keep extra air filters on-hand (buy from Depot or Lowe's), and I cut a new piece to fit in the vacuum about every 5th run. Each time I vacuum, I take the air filter out, wash it and rinse it with Mrs. Meyer's All-Purpose Cleaner. I squeeze the filter out but don't dry it. Then I wrap a dryer sheet around it. And, most important, I change the vacuum bag every time I vacuum so I don't get the musty smell of week-old dog hair fighting my efforts to get the house looking and smelling fresh as a daisy. (The bag fills up fast with these 2 sillyheads in the house anyway!)
