This so made me LOL
Dog and vacuum don't always get along. As reported on NPR's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me," the Wall Street Journal published an article on how to handle this particular domestic dilemma:
The trouble started when Mr. Hearn first turned on his Roomba automatic cleaner. When the device started scooting around the floor, Mr. Hearn's dog, Argos, attacked it.
Seeking help, Mr. Hearn found an online forum dedicated to the hundred-dollar Roomba buzzing with similar stories of pet assailants. Owners were offering advice. Among the most popular: Chastise the vacuum in front of the dog.
And so, with Argos looking on, Mr. Hearn shook his finger at his gadget and sternly called it "a bad Roomba." Argos appeared to be mollified. "After that, he never tried nipping at it again." |

| Yup and right then is when one of my buddies would be filming and I'd end up on youtube as the crazy lady that yells at her robotic vacuum. |

| what's funny is that gracie will chase the roomba for fun, but if i pull out the 'big boy' vacuum, she's GONE. |
