Dust Bunnies


Dropping the boys off at school, a gloomy and rainy morning.


photo from google images

After dropping off the boys, I went home and decided I needed to tackle the dust!
It's been left everywhere to breed, multiply and grow.
In fact, the further under furniture and deeper into corners I got,
I discovered that they were really more like dust mooses. ha.
I wiped ceiling fans, vent covers, door jams, the top of the refrigerator,
baseboards and even went behind the washer, dryer, china 
cabinet and under the couches. Oh my.
  I still didn't get all the way through the house, but
I did make a significant dent in the situation. lol.

  • Did you know that dust bunnies have been around for centuries and are an untouched resource of easy-care pets for our busy lifestyles?  They have lived quietly along side us and have already been domesticated!
  • You probably have one or two that have adopted you, and you don't even know it!
  • Dust Bunnies seek out spaces that receive little traffic, and are preferably  dark, although some do become curious of the outside world.
  • Dust Bunnies have their own paratrooper squads that one must be on the look-out for.  However, since the dust bunnies do not have their own air force, the depend upon fan blades to transport them, so invasions usually take place during air circulation.
  • There are also small legions of foot soldiers that parade across the floor when ventilation units are turned on.
  • When heavy objects are moved, they will scurry for cover!  This is the best time for capture!
  • Dust bunnies are very prolific.  There is no such thing as one dust bunny. Left to their own vices, dust bunnies will reproduce at alarming rates!
fun facts are from dustbunnies.com




I also want to thank Gloria for the Walmart gift card that she had as a giveaway
on her blog!  I was the lucky winner!  I don't know what I'll get with it! 
 Maybe something as a treat for myself, or maybe I'll just lower the looming weekly Walmart bill 
while I grocery shop this week. :)  Thank you, Gloria! 
 How nice!  If you don't visit her blog, you really should.
She has a fabulous cooking blog and I've made several of her delicious recipes!

And last but not least, my orthodontist is having a Cutest Pet Photo

Just click on the photo to go vote for Jack!
The winner gets $150 gift card to PetSmart.  And you all
know I could use that for a lot of cat chow to feed my zoo! ha.
Thanks very much, from Jack. :)

  6. Wow such a busy day
    And hate those dust mites that are all over on display
    The more you get the more there are
    Damn things are all over near and far
    Never shared the fact that they were dead skins cells too
    Didn't want to get the ewww? hahaha
    Sucks with rain
    We are on that train
    And walmart you say
    Just don't become on that people of walmart websites bay haha
    And a vote I will do
    So you can have some dough for your kitty crew
    $150 is nothing to sneeze at
    But let's just say it would barely make a dent it Miss Priss's rising vet bill at my mat haha

    1. Ew. Dust mites are a whole different matter.
      They are ugly skin cell eating bugs giving a lot of chatter.
      And yeah, pretty nice prize if Jack wins!
      Better than a catnip toy...we have lots of them!
      haha.

  14. You're inspiring. Maybe I will go after my dust mooses today. Maybe.

    ReplyDelete
  15. That reminds me that I really ought to go after the cobwebs - a bigger problem in my house than dust bunnies. You should see the size of the spiders! They (spiders not webs, I'm not that lazy!) must be as old as the house (100+ years!)
