My English Cocker Spaniel, Shadow, does not like the vacuum cleaner. She's NOT one of those dogs that barks at it or tries to chase it around. When she sees us go towards the closet with the vacuum in it she immediately runs in the bedroom, jumps on the bed and makes sure she is way up top on our pillows so she can watch 'that thing' and make sure it doesn't suck her up.
What was worse than the vacuum? Second Hand smoke. We just made our Second Anniversary mark on the 13th January...the day we quit smoking. I was a 30 year + smoker (except three years I quit when I had my two children) and my dad passed away from lung cancer Feb. 25, 2004. It took both of us to do it together (it is almost impossible to quit when the other is still smoking) and we did. No cheating, no puff here and puff there. Just 10 extra pounds and clean lungs.
Yup. Shadow is smoke free now too.
Note: Zyban, Commit lozenges and a determination to quit.
