In Reply to: What is the best vacuum on the market? - I am moving and have to leave behind (sm)
I've had several vacuums over the years and now own a Rainbow. Way expensive (I must have lost my mind when I agreed to the purchase) but it truly is the best in my opinion. Doubles as an air purifier too when you're not vacuuming. The only thing I dislike is that you have to empty the water cannister when you're finished, preferably outside.

I had one and would never get another one. A lot of work to set up and like another said, no place for the dirty water. I have a Dyson and love it.
Rainbow Bridge
If you Google Rainbow Bridge there's a beautiful website on this. Just a warning - it'll probably get you bawling if you're like me!

I have the one my brother was going to kick to the curb. LOVE IT! No dust being recirculated! Just remember not to leave the top part on the water-filled base, bad idea.
Does anyone have a Rainbow vacuum and if so ..sm
would you share your likes/dislikes? I am considering buying one but would like unbiased opinions please! Thanks.
Either "Over It" or "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" according to

I had a Rainbow that my mother gave me when
she moved to a smaller place. I used it until the motor burned out, but like the poster below, they are very cumbersome and not very quick to set up and put away. I have an upright Kirby now and love it. I bought one with the shampooer and all the attachments and it works just as well as the Rainbow. I wouldn't ever think of buying one for myself.
She'll be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge
She will still have that little piece of your heart. I hope you feel peaceful, you did the loving thing.

Another animal crossed Rainbow Bridge today (pic).
This is a picture of Buck. He was a Belgian horse, late teens maybe early 20s, who was found by a friend of mine at a livestock auction with his teammate (another older Belgian) who were both skin and bones, sores on their skin, bad hooves...the whole enchilada of problems that neglect brings. She bought them both for a couple hundred bucks just so they could go to her place and die with a belly full of food. They both made a miraculous recovery, gained weight, and went onto great homes. I was blessed with being able to take Buck on a 3-week trial to see if he would be a good slow riding horse for me (I'm kinda crippled up and that was my therapy).
He was a sweet old fella but his heart was in pulling...either wagons or twitching wood out of the forest, so he moved onto a home that was better suited for him. We kept in touch with his new owners who loved him as much as I did.
Today I got a phone call and was told he just dropped dead, apparently of a heart attack. Sadly, the years of neglect took their toll and his heart just gave out. I'm thankful he was at least surrounded by people who loved him when he needed it the most. Please hug your critters--we never know when they may leave us.
