Here is my problem. I have a beautiful 3 yr old yorkie. Since she was a puppy she's had a problem with vacuums , mops, brooms anything that cleans with a handle. It's insane as little as she is she can bring a full size vacuum down. At first I thought it was the noise but just the sight of it freaks her out. My mom had to buy covers for the vacuums so she wouldn't mess with them. She looks for the wrought iron broom by the fireplace set so she can attack it. It scared me to death because the whole set is iron and if it falls on her she could get hurt really badly so we had to relocate the broom portion of the set to the top of a shelf or fireplace. It's so frustrating because I just moved to a three floor carpeted townhouse and every time my husband and I have to clean it turns into a huge project. Either we have to put up a baby gate it each floor we clean or we have to crate her until we're done. It hurts me to lock her in the crate because she loves her crate and I don't want to use it in a negative way but we just don't know what to do. If you guys have any suggestions for me that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...Priscilla
