Today Twiggy decided to get involved in the cleaning process. Whether it was curiosity or a Don Quixote move I can’t tell. Let ‘s just follow her and find out.
“So there you are soul sucker.”
“I want you to know I fear no evil.”
“Yeah sure. Come at me if you dare.”
“I hope you know better than to go after my toy.”
“I’m not afraid of no ghost. Excuse me but I need my rest.”
“Hey, Twiggy.”
“Yes, Dad.”
“Could you pick up your toys so I can get that corner?”
“Dad. Do you see an opposable thumb on these paws?”
“Uh, Twiggy. Looks like something followed you in here.”
“Yeah, ignore it. Lucy. It’s Dad doing the vacuuming.”
“I heard you talking to it in the other room.”
“Yeah, I was trying to make up an adventure. Dad spoiled it.”
“What happened?”
“Dad asked me to pick up my toys.”
“Ah. Buzzkill.”
“Well, ladies. I’m finished.”
“Not too soon either, Boss.”
“Maybe next time I can do a Man of LaMancha drama.”

My Chocolate Lab likes me to vacuum *him*. He positions himself in front of the vacuum, stretches out and waits. If I stop and run the hose up and down his back a few times, he’s happy. Love these animals!

It’s crazy, John. He’s a big ninny about almost everything, so one would have expected him to be scared of the vacuum as well, but nope. Absolutely loves it. Would lay there all day if I would indulge him…😂

Twiggy had a pretty intense look going there until you…well, you know, John. Apparently, all the toys need to be spread out so they can find the one they want. At least that’s how it works here. You have two real cuties!

Love Lucy’s expression in the last photo! The vacuum used to be a source of entertainment for Dallas. He’d chase it and bark like crazy, probably trying to herd it and coming away frustrated. Now, he mostly sighs and moves to someplace where it’s not. There are some advantages in being old (or, as he says, experienced)!
