Athenia loves to chase mops an brooms. It's heck trying to sweep or mop the floor because my little runt of a dog likes to attack them. I have to put the pets gates up and lock her out of the room to get it done. Its so funny.

Toto goes at the vacuum. It's impossible to use it with him near. Even if he's not nearby, once he hears it he goes running to where ever it is. Tries to attack it. But when we pretend to vacuum him (put the small hand held vacuum on his rump) he just sits there and lets you vacuum him! So weird.

HAHA...my Peko does the same thing. If he was bigger I could just get him to bite down on the stick and swish him around as a mop.....I try to do my mopping when he goes outside.

Imagine 4 of them running after the broom..... I have to fence myself into an area just to sweep up their messes!!! They stand at the fence looking at me like "why can't we come in and play with the broom???"

After I've cleaned, we do play follow the broom in circles.. It's hilarious to watch.

My Molly is the same way. Lol. I have to put her in her room with gate up until I'm finished. And the vacuum cleaner. Oh boy! That one she will run from if it's on. She will hit the opposite end of the house like lightening. If it's sitting still and not running she will bark and growl and lunge at it. But the second you roll it towards her-well...she can't get away quick enough. It's the funniest thing to watch. Especially watching her on the hardwood floor as I'm rolling in to the bedroom where there is carpet. She doesn't know whether to attack it or run from it and her little legs are torn in two directions. It's really cute. Love my sweet funny girl.

Haha my sushi chases the water from the hose when I'm watering the flowers she loves to get wet. I guess is that terrier in them to hunt and chase that's what they where breed for!

Gracie does things like that. She loves to attack and fight things more than anything else. It's not vicious or anything but she loves to pretend she is killing something like a moving broom or even a toy for that matter. We call it terrier mode.

ColesMommy01 · 02-28-2014, 07:03 AM

Hehehe maybe she thinks she's protecting you from that mean ole cleaning thing
