I almost had a heartattack!

I FINALLY broke down and bought a Dyson DC-14 Animal vacuum cleaner (I did NOT tell my DH what it cost!) :o and it is even quieter than the old piece of sh.....I mean JUNK vacuum cleaner I was using before that didn't even seem to ever pick up anything.

Xena tries to bite it though! I have to put her out. The cats run and hide, but the dogs stare at it like it's some kind of wild beast! :o

, here's a different one and if it should be in a different thread, someone please make one up?! Last night at dog class, we went on a field trip to the local county nursing home type place. We were showing off what our dogs can do as well as allow the residents pet our dogs. Now I know that Oreo is not a huge fan of agility, but he had done really great on the first round, so I decided that I would take him around again. About half way through, he decided that he had had enough. He reared up like a horse, nitted/bit/whatever me three times and was also "slapping" me with his front paws. Has anyone else experienced something like this and is it really his way of saying "NO! I don't want to do this!" or is it just Oreo?

Wev'e made progress!!! The other day I ran the vaccum and Oreo was in. I thought, I'll just try it to see what he does. He jumped up on my bed, laid down, and stayed there the whole time!! No running around, no nitting, no nothing!
