Roomba and Our Dog

[unico_love]

The Roomba is a little electronic vacuum cleaner that travels around the floor on its own and then gets put back to its little "station" to charge. My mother bought her boyfriend one for Christmas. Our dog, Rasputin, thinks the Roomba is alive. He follows it around and backs away if it gets too close. When the Roomba was back in its station and sitting still Rasputin went up to it, pawing and whimpering, because he thought something was wrong with the Roomba. He does that to the cats and people, too, where if they are sleeping or if the cats are sitting in a tight space he cries out and jumps around, thinking they're hurt/dead/stuck. It's really funny, too, that if you say "Where's kitty?" he will hunt the cat down then whimper at it while wagging his tale. He also does this if you call the cat by its name (and he knows which cat is which).

You might try videotaping Rasputin and submitting it to cuteoverload. Then he would be famous! :)

The first time I learned of the existence of Roombas was on QuestionableContent.net, but I saw my first real one summer 2007 visiting Farah and Garrett. They're so cool!

Aww! My sister has a Roomba, she named it Frodo :D Her kids are very funny with it, as they are so different. Grant is 5, and very logical, always asking questions, always trying to figure things out. He wants to know when he can take apart Frodo and find out how he moves. Samantha, however, is 3 and very, VERY whimsical, head-in-the-clouds, sings everywhere she goes...she has long, in-depth conversations with Frodo as he goes about his work cleaning the house :D I caught her asking it one day if it really was okay with just cleaning all day.

Do you know the brand and model number of the camera? I can look up how to do it, if it can.
