Had a big, goofy grin the whole time I was reading. <br /><br />For my tip, I might just expand on one of yours if that's okay. Cats can sometimes be good vacuum cleaners too. A few years back, I left my cat, Priscilla, with my sister for a few weeks while I was traveling. I found out later that she had kept Priscilla shut in the bathroom because she wasn't getting along with the other cats. (Yeah, I'm still pissed about that.) Anyway, Priscilla was a very messy eater, so twice a day, my sister would open the door and let her cat, Bugsy, in to eat all the kibble crumbs around Priscilla's food bowl. :-)Anna Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812306606425286218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420136041899384436.post-68976521916248122412013-01-18T16:59:32.820+00:002013-01-18T16:59:32.820+00:00This is hysterical!!!

I think my favorite is - use your dog as a vacuum cleaner. I do this all the time when I'm in the kitchen with my dogs, "Simon, look, I dropped a potato chip/piece of chicken/broccoli floret! Clean that up for me!" :)<br /><br />Francine, you are brilliant for coming up with all these tips. I have one to add to Harriet's list - Think of your closets and drawers as garbage dumps. It makes straightening up for guests really easy. Just pick up anything that's littering your floors or furniture, toss it in a closet or drawer, shut the door/drawer, and voila, your house looks clean without you actually having to do any cleaning. Out of sight, out of mind, I always say.Tracie Banisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16251073586491084749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420136041899384436.post-38301661303651228792013-01-18T15:51:37.688+00:002013-01-18T15:51:37.688+00:00Omigosh!
