    Dog must have had a complex relationship with the mother given how she wrangled that monster.

      I read that the reason dogs don’t like the vacuum, is that it looks like it’s yanking you around against your will, which upsets the sense of who’s in charge.

      The suggestion was that in order to put your dog’s mind at ease, you should drag your vacuum into the living room, loom menacingly over it, and give it a good yelling-at… and that this would somehow make your dog more calm around it.

      Personally, I think it would make the dog LESS calm, considering that not only does it have to endure the vacuum, but that there’s also some complex psychological drama between mom and the Electrolux, which Poochie can see but not understand.
