Being a Portlander can be quite busy. There’s beer to discuss, unconferences to plan and attend, nature to enjoy, and tons of great people to hang out and have fun with. All that activity, who has time to keep their houses “spit spot” (as Mary Poppins would say)? I certainly try to keep my house clean, but it’s nice to have a little help now and then.
Enter the Barkuum™! Never do I have to worry about dropping food items on the ground. My Barkuum hoovers it up at a moment’s notice. Occasionally it replaces the food items with clumps of hair, but you pay for convenience, right? It’s a completely green appliance! It slices, digs and destroys pesky doggy toys in a matter of seconds. You didn’t really like those shoes, right? And your floor truly does look better a little muddy, you know.
Your Barkuum requires occasional maintenance however. If your Barkuum starts to show signs of wear, such as incessant leash fetching and dropping on your head, lying on the floor/couch/dog bed looking at you like you just stole their last cookie, or frequent running for the door every time you move, then it’s probably time to take it in for service. Fortunately, there are plenty of events in Portland where you can take your Barkuum for just such service. In fact, there’s one coming up in May!
Just tell ‘em morganpdx from OurPDX sent ya. They’ll give you a good deal. Probably throw in a Tshirt or something. ::winkwinknudgenudge::

My Beagle Barkums thank you for this information. A publicly-sanctioned reason to sniff butts? They are SO there.
