I’m going to post it to those sites where badly-treated dogs are rescued, pampered and found new, kind owners. The title will be “Henry finds his forever home.” The voice over will say “you only have to look at Henry’s cute little face to see how happy he is with his new Mom.” It won’t say that Henry’s first owner – me – is dancing with relief at having got rid of the noisy, obstructive, smirking vaccuum cleaner: the Lou Dobbs of domesticity.
