Tuukka and the Vaccuum

Tuukka doesn't like the vaccuum.  I don't blame him,  I don't like it either-it's too noisy.  But I don't have a choice, with a house full of furry critters and lots of carpet I have to vaccuum.  If I could do it over again I would have all hardwood floors that I could easily (and quietly) sweep and  mop to keep clean. Who knew cleaning spilled milk, dog vomit and mud out of the carpet on a regular basis would get old so quickly?  Obviously not me.

But I digress.  Tuukka hates the vaccuum, but instead of taking a hint from the kids, cat and Boomer who all scatter like cockroaches when the vaccuum comes out, Tuukka chooses to stand two feet in front of me and act like I brought it out just to torture him.  I've tried reasoning with him, telling him to just go wait in another room until I'm done but he doesn't listen.  I've also reminded him (and everyone else) to wipe their paws on the doormat before walking through the rest of the house.  And if you absolutely must vomit please do it on the kitchen floor.  It's a big floor easy enough to do.  Again not listening.  Silly dog.
