    Mine, the Golden Retriever, I have had for many years and I can't imagine living without it, as I have used it for all of your ideas and then some, I even use it to retrieve the cat's dish from the porch every morning.

    My son loves it- makes picking the laundry off the floor a game. PS He is 38!

    I need to get one of those as I can't reach the bottom of my new washer and have to get a footstool to grab the freshly washed socks etc.

    I got one when I had back surgery a couple year ago. It is a staple in my sewing room!!

    Careful Shelbie, don't fall in, whatever you do. I am laughing, as I have a hard time reaching the socks and unders that seem to always stick to the bottom and are reluctant to be retrieved.

    Also works great for picking up the sock that you flipped behind the washing machine when shaking it out to put in the dryer!! :-)

    I'd love to find something like this but that can compact to travel with me, like a telescopic option. Any ideas?
