All those moons ago, when Samuel was a mere glint in our eye, we never gave much thought to how much a pug sheds. In all other areas of research we were meticulous and poured over books and websites, thirsty for pug philosophy.
We knew about face fold maintenance and how it's best to keep on top of it, for your nose's sake if nothing else. We learnt that pugs and heat don't mix, and were fearful of a vampire-esque combustion should Samuel step into the sun. We were clued up on weight issues and had a list of famous pug owners as long as our arm.
But the shedding evaded us.
Like a pesky hair, the issue seemed to dig itself right into the carpet and stubbornly refused to budge. When our old vacuum cleaner packed in, and the blue carpet on the stairs was fast-turning fawn, something had to be done.
With our old model consigned to the scrapheap, we set about doing what we did best; researching. After reading countless cleaner reviews, one vacuum kept on rearing its dust-destroying head; the Miele Cat and Dog Turbo 5000. With a name like a cyborg, we were intrigued, and decided to put it to the test.
Though not cheap, I can honesty say a more worthy pound was never spent. Despite Samuel being more interested in the puppy on the box, this is the best vacuum cleaner ever! With such weaponry in our arsenal, we not only won the war against pug hair, but reclaimed the kingdom too, which now has blue carpet again.
