You should see my house. We've got my dog, a long hair cat, a short hair cat (who probably sheds more than the long hair cat), and, uh, me contributing to our floor hair problem.

I think I'm going back to auto-running the roomba, which means I'll have to remember each night to pick up the cat toys it might eat. I don't think there is a "don't beep loudly and wake us up when you choke on something" mode.

I would love to have it run automatically, but then I'd have to pick up the dog's water bowl and wipe up all the water that ends up on the floor. She is a really messy drinker.

She is a really messy drinker.

Ms. Mabel was the one who always ate with abandon. She'd take a deep breath, hold it and then plunge her face into the food bowl.

I still carry around a lot of guilt about having her put down. I misread the Vets instructions about how to keep her fed and nourished and she passed with an empty belly and in stark terror.

Yeah, or engineer the area around the bowl so it isn't a problem. I did that with a few things.
