Jealous Beast

When it comes to the vacuum cleaner
my dog is a jealous beast,
showing off his fangs and claws.
Does he not know that I'd feed
my Oreck less if he, now and then, but
wiped his paws?

LOL, i like that you called my poem 'raunchy' .. anyways... I never meet a dog that enjoys the vacuum. I think the noise bothers their sensitive hearing. have you ever seen a cat react to a vacuum... funny ending... always~ LINDA

Haha... is raunchy an odd word to use? But I would like to see what happens to that poor cat... pets can be funny sometimes :)

Isn't that the truth. This is such and insightful write. It'd also be a bonus if our dogs brushed their hair outside once in awhile too.

or used their own doggy bags to clean up their own mess.... wouldn't that be nice? An owner can dream though... haha...

My dog doesn't do this anymore (my house has all wood flooring)... but it was pretty fun seeing his reaction to the Roomba I got my mom for her birthday! He was pretty scared of the thing...
