Please tell me that Im not the only one that has a Yorkie that loves to chase and "eat" the broom and/or the mop! We have wood floors so I have this push broom that I push around and Sadie LOVES it!!! She attacks it the whole time Im trying to clean the floors......Same goes for the mop! I can tell her to stop and she does but she still follows it around, growls at it and cant resist the temptation to snap at it from time to time. LOL!!!

Mine does that too for the broom and sometimes the vacuum. They sure are funny.

Oh, Sadie does not like the vacuum at all! As soon as I take it out of the closet, the baby (who is 1 year old) and Sadie both leave the room! LOL!!

The mop, the broom, and the LAWN MOWER When the lawn mower comes out she is locked in the house

Thats their terrier killer instinct coming out

My Staff Bull Terrier does it too! But my OESD just lies there on the floor (in the way as usual lol!) and watches them, then he'll give me this look as if to say "what in the world" he has absolutely NO killer instinct in him AT all LOL!!!

Willow turns into Linda Blair from the Exorcist anytime we even go NEAR the closet where the ironing board is (which is daily) and the vacuum. One of us has to take her into another room while we get it out!!

Yep~! I have the same issues too. For a while it is funny and I might play along. But then later it isn't too funny when I am trying to clean. I usually put the gate up and let him watch so I can get something done.

OMG! We bought a new vacuum cleaner last year, and Sophie bit a hole in the hose

I have to put her in a room with the door closed when I clean. My house is not as clean as it was before we had a Yorkie.
