I got mine at Drs Foster and Smith too. It works really well!

rubber spongy thing that my friend gave me. Theyre cheap, and I love it! Its
grayish black and kind of shaped like a rectangle, but with a curved inner part
for you to grip. I think she got it from Drs. Foster and Smith, but Im not
really sure. But, this thing takes the fur and rolls it up when you drag is
across the upholstery. This is the only way I can vacuum my furnitureI have to
do this first which gets up the majority of the hair, but the stuff thats left
is actually vacuum-able. I also bought some vacuum spray stuff thats supposed
to allow the hair to not stick to furniture, but it was a mess and didnt
really work, and it would get in places I didnt want. By far, I stand my
rubber thing!
Ill look later for a link to one, I couldnt find one on the Drs. Website,
but I know its out there somewhere. But, I did read while looking that many
people use a rubber glove. Ive never tried it. If you do, let us know!

I saw something about rubber gloves (like for washing dishes) getting up
fur on upholstery. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I'm curious -- how much does it hold? I love my purple dyson for animal
hair but so help me - we're such a shedding bunch I have to empty it
frequently. how does it perform?

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you guys know that Roombie (our new
Roomba Sage for pet owners) went on it's maiden voyage
this morning. The kitties were somewhat alarmed at
first, but by the time it cleaned for 45 minutes and
docked itself, they weren't too concerned with it.
Smookie ran over to it when it stopped and has been
trying to get the brushes out from underneath it.
It's too cute.
So far, Roombie did a bang-up job of vacuuming my tile
floors-the living room, kitchen, and eating area along
with the front entry way and hallway leading from
that. That's as far as it could go since all the
doors were shut along the hallway. I was very
surprised with how well it patterned itself while
cleaning. It got in and out of tight spaces. It even
tried to eat Smookie's feather toy, but I rescued it.
We paid $219 for it at the irobot website, which is
the company that makes Roomba. A better deal than at
Linens and Things or Bed, Bath, and Beyond. They
have a pretty decent special, which includes free
shipping, and a free home dock (normally $60); fairly
cheap for a Roomba. Normally, I am a very frugal
person, but I have bought three vacuum-cleaners in the
past few years at about $50 each at Walmart, and all
have died. Plus, I don't actually have to do the
vacuuming myself, so that itself was worth the extra
money. With the tile, as opposed to the carpet we had
that hid a lot of dirt, every speck of dirt shows up,
and I'm having to sweep every day as it is. So all in
all, I'm happy as of day one. We'll see after a month
or so if Roombie was worth it.
