Hi.  Let me tell you about the magical Fuller Brush.  Fuller was 26 
months when I received him.  he was and is a headstrong hard headed 
self absorbed creature.  I think maybe he was raised in a barn as his 
house manners are not wonderful for example he is a sneaky counter 
surfer and even at 7 he still likes to get into things but he had one 
exceptional talent.  He is probably the most awesome guide I have ever 
encountered.  I have had six.  Some of the others probably have equaled 
his abilities but it took a while to hone their skills whereas Fuller 
had those skills coming out of the gate.  Honest to God he was born to 
be a guide and probably a counter surfer too.

I did not bond that well with Fuller as he felt as guide he decided 
what was acceptable and what wasn't and he acted as though anything I 
did for him was the very least I could do and well below what he the 
Magic Fuller deserved but what I needed was a guide and he fit the bill 
perfectly for that so I accepted the rest.

When I returned home with him he immediately totally and helplessly 
fell in love with my husband.  This man was much older than I am and he 
was beginning that decline none of us wishes to consider.  Through that 
time, Fuller continued to work with me and his guide work was perfect 
but as my husband began that downward spiral it was Fuller who was 
close to him.  Although he had children, it was Fuller who loved him, 
who believed in him when he had self doubts, who comforted him when no 
one else could reach him, and who held out hope when things looked very 
bleak.  He is gone now and no one can repay Fuller for the untold 
wonderful good deeds he did for this man and although we have had to 
make some adjustments, Fuller remains the perfect guide or as others 
have referred to him the bomb and of course he also remains a counter 
surfer I just have to use a tie down when I plan to leave things on the counter

To my knowledge Fuller was not a reissue he also was not extremely 
young when I got him but he does embody every good trait we hope to see 
in a guide-- well except the counter surfing!  laughter. He is the 
Magical and Enchanting Fuller Brush
