Have you vacuumed your dog today?
 

I am incredulous that my boxer Emma learned to enjoy being vacuumed after one session having her fear eradicated by the joy of tiny pieces of bacon. I don't have a video of Emma, but here's one of a happy corgi.

Vacuuming the Corbs. - YouTube

Unbelievable. The cat walks up while I'm vacuuming Emma and rubs against my leg, so I touch him with the vac and he lets me vacuum him too, with no bribes. go figure. One more problem solved...how to stay indoors out of the scorchy weather and brush the animals...happy here...celebrating!

My golden retriever, Max, LOVED to be vacuumed. Glad he so enjoyed it because, well, you know how goldens can she'd...;)

Sydney, my sweet little black lab didn't like the vac so I could never get near her
with it.....I swear she shed more than Max. Ah, I loved them both and miss then dearly.

It's never too late, Pooh... And Gracie will babysit.:laugh:

You're vacuuming your pets? That sucks.

We used to vacuum our horses. I wonder if Patty55 did the same thing. :evil6:

my dog loved to bark at it

Yeah!

Did it cause a dust-up?

uh-oh on one of the cartoons

Dust-up...Emma gets jealous, rolls her eyes and sidles closer, careful not to step on the cat. The cat plays victim and yowls as if he's been mortally injured.

A wardrobe malfunction!

Yep, they loved it. I think it was kind of like a massage.

Just wondering... Why do you vacuum a horse? Do they shed like a dog? But, but... you don't need to keep the horse hairs out of the house, do you?

And what do you use, a Dustbuster? (I'm semi-serious.)

We'd vacuum them when they came in from turnout all dusty and dirty. If they came in muddy we'd let it dry and then vacuum them. The alternative was to put some serious elbow grease brushing the dirt out.

They sell special vacuums for this, we just used a cannister style with that attachment that I think is for upholstery.

Mine showed all year so they were usually clipped, but if not they would get a really thick winter coat that you would have to curry it off and use a shedding tool.

Next lesson in the series "The Wacky World of Everything Equine" ... What is a sheath? Who cleans it?

Um... I watched the video. Hopefully that person would be the veterinarian.

I loved everything about feeding and grooming horses, except for cleaning the sheath! Why do really good riding horses need to be geldings. :crap2:

Nope, the Vet is not the WEINER CLEANER. When it's time for it, it's time to hire a groom.

ewww. I never had horses. Had to look up sheath..
1. a close-fitting cover for something, esp. something that is elongated in shape, in particular.
silly me, what does being a gelding have to do with the sheath? is sheath the same as foreskin?

A lot more involved than vacuuming the family pet...

We tried to vacuum ours but they hated the wheels running across their backs.

I've learned a lot here today. The video has given me a bit of a cramp, but nothing like the one it's going to give my husband.

When he sees the video I mean.

:1rotfl::1rotfl:

:1rotfl::1rotfl:
You're going to let him read your post? you go girl!

I haven't seen the video, but does the horse seem to be smiling?

Let's just say he was more comfortable with the video of the corgi being vacuumed than the sheathing. After the latter he put the house up for rent, I kid you not---See Rental Near Brownwood.

Soooooo, how much does one pay to get a willy washing?

DB, don't know how much it costs, but be sure to ask if it comes with a song....

I found that on the internet, but I'm not sharing it.

we're still getting away with this?

Depends, usually $20-40. There was one girl at the barn who would do it for free, so I gave her $20.

My horses seemed to like it.:0000000000luvmyhors

You know those are my favorite kind of comments!

I'm aware of that, you're incorrigible. (And entertaining). You make TOTV a happier place.

You tickle me. both of you!
time I lightened up....

A dog walks into a bar and hops up on a stool. He looks the bartender in the eye and says, "Hey, guess what? I can talk. Have you ever seen a talking dog before? How about a drink?"

The bartender thinks for a moment and says, "Sure, the toilet's right around the corner."

Bwahaha!

Kitty, now you've started something ......... :p

Why don't blind people like to sky dive?
Because it scares the dog.

This one always cracks me up...

LOL...aaahhaaaahaa. Patty..killing me.

HERE'S ANOTHER ONE:
There’s a guy with a Doberman Pincher and a guy with a Chihuahua. The guy with the Doberman Pincher says to the guy with the Chihuahua, "Let’s go over to that restaurant and get something to eat."

The guy with the Chihuahua says, "We can’t go in there. We’ve got dogs with us."

The guy with the Doberman Pincher says, "Just follow my lead."

They walk over to the restaurant. The guy with the Doberman Pincher puts on a pair of dark glasses and he starts to walk in. A guy at the door says, "Sorry man, no pets allowed."

The guy with the Doberman Pincher says, "You don’t understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The guy at the door says, "A Doberman Pincher?"

He says, "Yes, they’re using them now, they’re very good."

The guy at the door says, "Come on in."

The guy with the Chihuahua figures "What the hell," so he puts on a pair of dark glasses and starts to walk in.

The guy at the door says, "Sorry pal, no pets allowed."

The guy with the Chihuahua says, "You don’t understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The guy at the door says, "A Chihuahua?"

He says, "You mean they gave me a Chihuahua?"

That's hilarious, I just spit coffee all over my iPad. :mornincoffee:
