Robodog because, when he arrived, DH and DS spent the weekend following him around the house and it was like having a new puppy 🤣.

Ronnie. I praise him when he does a good job, as he does seem to be half arsed most of the time.

Of course! Ours is a Roomba (he’s getting quite old now) and his name is Wolfgang.

We love him.

Wolfgang has a big brother. We also have a wet/dry shop vacuum (it’s got more suck than a domestic one!) and he is called Wilson.

I think I’ve gone wrong!
