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).

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!
