Wood heat, love and hate

I sometimes wish we had more carpet. At least with carpet I can vacuum and get most of the stuff up (if I vacuum regularly). We have wood floors and vinyl in the kitchen and the dang dust bunnies dance and hop away from us when we sweep! We need to spend the money on a good quality hard floor vacuum.

You just need a coupla dogs and cats to tumble through your home! My cat always dusts under the beds and I just pull all the bunnies off his whiskers when he emerges!

I love my wood stove!!!! Especially when it's as cold and windy as it is tonight..... I find the dust and dirt to be a very fair exchange for the intense warmth that is like no other heat source....I freeze when I go to someone else's home!

One drawback is the hypnotic state into which I slip if I sit next to the stove of a morning....it makes it hard to even think about going out to work!

On my days off you will find me cuddled on the couch, book in hand, sipping cocoa and thanking God over and over for my little ol' wood stove!

Me? We had 3 cats (now down to 2 since Monday) and 3 dogs! That's why there's all those dust (and hair) bunnies!

I absolutely HATE carpet. The last two homes I lived in were carpet free, and I loved it. We had two huge dogs in the house and a very fluffy cat. My morning routine was to dustmop the whole house every day. Took all of 10 minutes. I hate vacuuming with a passion.

The durable (top) one. http://international.vileda.com/com/subcategories/show/17/7#cat-panel0

Love the Swiffer(sp?) for dusty, hairy hard floors.

The swiffer handle + base works really well without the swiffer cloths if you pop in a microfibre cloth--same static properties

I hate carpet with a passion with my animals. I love the wood stove though! cheap heat!

I want to pull the carpet out of here as soon as we can afford it. We put laminate down in our last house and I adored it.

I really do love my woodstove ya'all
It just means I have to clean more then usual.
Once the cats are back outside in the spring, things do improve!
