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.

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.

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

Did it cause a dust-up?

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.

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.)
