Late Tuesday afternoon, I was lounging in my kitchen on my sideways couch.\u00a0 I had already been outside for a run around, and was contemplating how I was going to spend my Tuesday evening.\u00a0 Such thinking makes me sleepy, so I was sluggishly drifting off to sleep.<\/p>\n

Without warning the back door opened.\u00a0 The humans are often coming and going, so that sound didn’t startle me and I decided that I wasn’t going to look up.\u00a0 I listened as I heard a human come into my kitchen and close the door behind them.\u00a0 I counted the seconds, awaiting the inevitable scratch behind my ears.\u00a0 (NO ONE walks by the sideways couch without petting me.\u00a0 It’s like a rule.)\u00a0 But no human touch came.\u00a0 A few more seconds passed, and I decided to lift my head up and look around.<\/p>\n

I didn’t like who I saw.\u00a0 Or rather, what I saw.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The vacuum clearer is the most irritating appliance that I’ve ever come across.\u00a0 It’s sneaky and has a total disregard for anyone and everyone around it.\u00a0 The vacuum can sneak into your personal space almost without a sound, sitting quietly until it suddenly erupts with noise and rolls around the house screeching at the top of it’s lungs. The humans seem to tolerate this noise, but clearly they don’t trust the vacuum, since one of them always follows the vac around the house closely when it’s being loud.\u00a0 Unfortunately the humans don’t do anything to stop the vacuum from making it’s rounds.<\/p>\n

I, on the other hand, handle things differently.<\/p>\n

We had tangled before, the vacuum cleaner and I, always to a standstill.\u00a0 This time would be different, I thought.\u00a0 This time I’ll show the vacuum who’s boss.<\/p>\n

While I lay there daydreaming, the vacuum cleaner sprung to life.\u00a0 It unleashed it’s screech, snapping me out of la la land and into action. I pressed record on my camera and attacked.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It was over quick.\u00a0 The vacuum couldn’t take my continuous attack, and finally gave up.\u00a0 It quieted down and retreated, giving me a very satisfying victory.\u00a0 I climbed back up into my loft to get some much needed rest.<\/p>\n

It’s been a few days, but I haven’t seen or heard from the vacuum cleaner.\u00a0 I hope he’s gone for good this time, but I doubt it.\u00a0 And when he does come back I’ll be ready for him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
