The Roomba arrived today. We were very excited and placed it on the floor for a quick trial run. It made a pleasant little beep, beep to signal the start of it's run. To BART!, this was like ringing a dinner bell! He came flying out of the other room and began dooking loudly at the little spinning vacuum. Right away, he decided that the rotating edge brushes looked wonderfully delicious. He tried grabbing the moving bristles over and over. He pried at, chased, and even RODE the Roomba! His tail was full bottlebrush, dooking loudly and trembling with excitement. I guess the dudes will spend some in-cage time while the Roomba makes it's rounds. And Willie, the cat, also had interest in dining on the little protruding brushes (he is a notorious cord chewer). The fate of the little robot hangs in the air.... Lesley [Posted in FML 5939]
