In the unforgiving walk-in closet of Nature’s majestic realm, different species are often set at cross purposes. In this video, a puppy expresses its displeasure with a lint roller, who has spoiled an afternoon’s work by cleaning the hair he shed all over the sofa. Again and again, the enraged puppy strikes, but the lint roller is unyielding. Weary of the battle, the puppy retreats to seek trash cans it can tip over.
You can’t use a lint roller in my parents’ house unless you have at least five extra minutes to spend rolling it on Stars. She can hear it from just about anywhere in the house and she will come running.
I love the house rules that people have concerning their pets! One of our house rules is that nuts, of any variety, shall not be eaten until a nut tithe is first paid to the parrot. Merlin would not like to be lint-rolled. He does, however, like to be dusted with a dry duster (a dusting cloth or one of those swiffer dusters – though, understandably, not a feather duster).
It’s not so much a house rule as just a ‘she’ll bug you and look sad until you give in’ kinda thing.
Stripes’ll let you vacuum him (or at least he let my mom do it at least once, but he was certainly enjoying it).
not a feather duster
Is that too close to cannibalism?
In my house it’s cheese or ready whip. No matter the form or style of packaging, kitty knows when the cheese is out, and there had better be some in her bowl, or else.
Just try and shake a can of ready whip without her running in from wherever (usually the space under the couch where she’s torn the thin lining covering the springs that has now become her lair. It’s always nice when she gets feisty in there while you’re peacefully watching tv and suddenly the beast below gooses you through the couch cushion) yeowwwling for a squirt.
Here it’s more like extortion, two of my five cats will sit in front of my husband and stare at him and even mean at him until he gives them a piece of whatever he is eating. Very often they won’t even eat it but if they do, he’ll give them another piece and another piece until they get up and leave the last piece untouched. I keep telling not to give them people food but he can’t resist “the stare”.
Shoot, wish Theo’d let me lint roller him!
HELP HELP .. This thing is stealing my fur !!
Oh the horror !!
That’s Mr. Lintroller to you, puppy!
What a sweetie pie….
BTW, do folks hear Marlon Perkins saying this narration, or David Attenborough? (Obviously not Steve Irwin, as there isn’t one “little beaooty” in there.)
