Sidney is too easily distracted to be a housecleaner. He certainly has more fun than I do.

♫ Riders on the Storm ♪

It sucks to be that vacuum!

Sidney’s a little whack, too.

Woodeye…. looks like it used to suck…..

but, sadly, it isn’t going to suck any more.

Meanwhile, Toby is hiding under the bed, wondering why Sidney would be consorting so happily with a vacuum cleaner.

His mama taught him when he was just a puppy:

“The friend of my enemy is my enemy.”

but what do I do if the friend of my worst enemy is my beloved Master??

Cats on Roombas looked so much fun.

Is that a look of elation or shear terror? At times like this it is difficult to tell.

You will find Sidney at the bottom of the stairs.

With or without the vacuum.

The vacuum’s not the only thing that’s out of whack.

If only he would upgrade to a Kirby. Kirbys are very sturdy.

I was just thinking…..

(Yeah yeah, I know… but sometimes I can’t help it… )

Maybe all isn’t lost….

Maybe he can go to the B. S. All-Night Pharmacy and Appliance Repair and buy a big bag of whack.

Do-whack-a-do.

We got rain! Woo Hoo!

As soon as a Roomba can negotiate stairs, watch out!
