Paradise Island in Bahamas. It's a beautiful resort. I would love to go back sometime, but it's a little pricey. My husband and I got married there 9 years ago.

I have a Eureka Atlantis Opt-Heat and love it...sm
we have 3 dogs and a cat that live in the carpeted area of the house, as well as 4 people in the house, so I'm sure you can imagine the beating our carpet takes. I love this carpet cleaner because it has an easily removable plate over where the yucky water, animal hairs, etc. is sucked up and it's easy to clear it. Prior to this unit I had a Bissel heat steam cleaner that worked great except it would jam easily with pet hair and was harder to clean the jams between the layers of the cleaner. My sister now has that cleaner as they only have 1 small dog so the pet hairs aren't a major problem for them to deal with.

The unit I have sells at Walmart for $136 online is what I'm seeing now. It also has a collapsable handle which makes it easy to store.

Consumer Reports a few months ago rated the home carpet shampooers and found that they usually do as good if not better than RugDoctor or professional cleaners. If you have stains on your carpet there are pre-treaters you can use and oftentimes get them up, depending on how long the stain has been there and what the stain is. If I ever got a significant stain on my carpet I would call the pros so they could work it out with their high powered chemicals.

We clean our carpets every other month and it's amazing the dirt the cleaners pull out of the carpet. We vacuum every couple of days but that never gets as deep as the crud gets from everyday walking on it.

Another beauty of buying a carpet cleaner is the cost. After using it about 3-4 times it's paid for itself when you look at the rental fees for other cleaners, or what the cost of having a professional come out once runs.

They told us we were going to a doggie resort....
....but I have a sneaking suspicion obedience school is in our future!

Respect your opinion, but should only be last resort.

Last resort - crating at night

I know cats aren't as amenable to crating as dogs, but if it were me, I would get one of those hard-sided plastic crates and put the little bugger in there and put the crate as far away from the bedroom as possible. It comes down to a question of who's running the show, you or him? It sounds like it's either that or giving him away. IMO, no one should put up with an animal that is destructive. There are ways to help train them to be less destructive, or to confine them to prevent them from being destructive. If that doesn't work, it's time to start looking for another home for the animal.

But that's JMHO.

I would not encourage him to resort to name calling.
That just brings him down to their level. My son loved tennis and was not very athletic in "team sports". His friends were really cool about this. They come to all his matches and cheer him on and he in turn goes to their soccer matches. Just depends on how they are raised I guess.

I was a single mother at one time. I had to resort to

food stamps to feed my 2 kids that I had while married. My husband and I did end up remarrying and I called and cancelled the food stamps right then. While we were divorced, though, it was food stamps or hungry kids. Yes, I was working, but tying to pay the bills, keep housing and food for my kids and keeping them clothed and in school was just too much. Believe me, I hated like rip to have to go the food stamp office and even apply. I was absolutely mortified and thought I would die of embarassment, but I did it for my kids.

Since it is the off season, Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort is a MUST! For us, we sm
did the brunch thing (11:00), and the food was absolutely AMAZING. If price isn't a big deal (for us, we splurged), then you must visit this place. You can have different reservation times depending on your schedule. We chose brunch, but you can do lunch, dinner. I can only recommend brunch because that is what we ate. Delicious, gourmet and non-gourmet food. They had the neatest candy bar where the kids could eat all the candy they could get their hands on. All of the characters come around the table and you take tons of pics.

But you must have a reservation for this place. You just call them. Find the number on line.

Also, I recommend Dixie Stampede.

So many I can hardly count....
