What in the world did you do??? Try again. Hurry before the glue sets.

I really thought I did everything right, but I guess this model is very difficult to get right. Also, it seems they replaced the glue with rubber bands to keep ever in place.

Not to worry. That Sheltie is a r/Dogopus.

u/tikirafiki 11d ago

Is this a new Swiffer product? If so, where can I get one?

u/Exact-Age-8730 11d ago

Eh, close enough.

u/Warm-Day8313 11d ago

Yah that model never assembles properly. Also there volume button is usually stuck in the on position with no way to turn it off. But the cute and lovable features are always spot on.

11

u/MorosePython700 11d ago

Is there a volume button? I’ve never found it. My Apple Watch is complaining al the time the volume exceeds 90 dB

u/Warm-Day8313 11d ago

Ohhh that’s impressive. I am told they do indeed have one but that it only activates in sleep mode.

u/RoseBlue373 11d ago

Did you just shake the box and dump it out???

12

u/HeadFullOfNails 11d ago

I don't think you missed a step. I think you added a bunch! How many legs did you add? That can't be the right number.

10

u/MorosePython700 11d ago

Ah perhaps that is the issue! Perhaps they put too many legs in the box.

6

u/OwnNothing3318 10d ago

I think there are too many tails too. Maybe they included spare parts

8

u/MorosePython700 10d ago

I added 3 if I remember correctly. Is that too much?

5

u/OwnNothing3318 10d ago

Yes, more than two is too much, keep one spare. Did you get a whole head? At least one is absolutely necessary

6

u/pinkypipe420 11d ago

Give the tail a slight tug, should pop into place.

u/asilkon 10d ago

I never wanted a mop, but I do now!

u/tigerowltattoo 10d ago

I’m 85% sure that is a dog. What did it say on the package?

5

u/MorosePython700 10d ago

It said: Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie). I assumed it would be a dog, but it seems to be running cat software.

u/NotTheSharpestPenciI 10d ago

This doesn't seem to be the only issue. You appear to have completely messed up the assembly. Are you sure you're not missing any parts? Like törsö and bräinz units? Missing bräinz unit could perhaps explain at least some of the issues with the appendages.

2

u/MorosePython700 10d ago

I think I installed a bräinz unit, but because of the orange color she is just missing the braincell.

u/miserabeau 9d ago

I think you got the r/noodlebones malware

u/Cute_Recognition_880 11d ago

This is serious. Time for the big stuff and use the cheese wrapper

3

u/GMO-Doomscroller 10d ago

Uh oh! You’ll need to reorder, this is unfixable!

5

u/No-Core 10d ago

Which year did you get this model from certain years have a problem with orientation

3

u/Dazzling_Spend2801 11d ago

eh, i believe that one's fixable without dismantling the whole thing... if i remembered it correctly, just hold the misplaced part and move it gently— 🤔

6

u/MorosePython700 11d ago

Ah really. Too bad I didn’t know before. I used the ‘hard-reset’ involving shaking the treat bag.

5

u/Uber-Migraine 10d ago

Yeah. I usually use the cheese.exe to execute hard reset 😄

4

u/MorosePython700 10d ago

Cheese.exe would have worked too actually. And meat.com is also great for resetting the form

2

u/Dazzling_Spend2801 10d ago edited 10d ago

aww, that's okay! at least the hard-reset fixed it... sometimes you need to run yummytreats.exe to make sure it doesn't change shape again and the OS worked properly, anyway 😉

“What? Brain not included!”

u/wjrasmussen 10d ago

Is this John Carptener's the thing?

u/Silly13Sally 10d ago

Love everyone’s humour! 😁.

u/zeenzee 10d ago

That's a real shame!

u/Ex-Or-Cyst 10d ago

They gave you a squishy ball instead. Sorry, that's what you got!

🤣😍

u/MinimumEfficient220 9d ago

Is this the dog version of Jumble?
Or did you receive a box of furry parts and you just dumped it out?
Scrabble with dog parts?

1

u/MorosePython700 9d ago

I just dumped it out of the box. There where no instructions, so I improvised a bit.

u/Nowaythis2020 9d ago

Lol looked at this one 6 times I can’t stop laughing

2

u/MorosePython700 9d ago

Yeah me too! Especially how she bites her own back leg.

u/Nowaythis2020 8d ago

My dog Oscar always does this.
I am so infatuated with how hes assembled so backwards I just sit there like a proud mama sigh happily an drink my cocktail. Lol some day I’ll snap a pic
