The Dust Rag Makes Jon Farleigh Homicidal (and other household evil)

A while back I published a post called Vacuuming with a Vacuum Terrorist, which included a video of Dewi going postal on the end of my high-powered vacuum nozzle.

A little while after that I published a post called Neuroses, in which I confessed Jon Farleigh's bizarre disdain for the sound of all salt/pepper/sugar/spice shakers - to the point that I can't even open my spice drawer without him having a meltdown, moaning and shoving his head under my hand, as if to protect me from some evil presence that I can't see.

What I have yet to spill (until this moment), however, is that dust rags (cloths/Swiffers/gloves/whatever) that are in my hand, and in the process of trapping dust from hard surfaces, make Jon Farleigh homicidal (with intent to kill the thing trapping the dust).

Like so:

If you can't see the video, go here.

(Oh, and - as you can see {and hear} in the video - when Jon Farleigh goes after the duster, Dewi barks incessantly, trying to get both of our attention.)

So I can't vacuum, cook or dust without the dogs going completely bats**t crazy.

Could it be a sign that someone other than me is supposed to complete these menial tasks from here on out?

Yeah, more like a sign that the dogs need to GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL while I vacuum, cook and dust around them.


We must rid this house of the evil.

It's no wonder that I don't do menial chores more often. ;)

It's almost Friday! Yay!

Neuroses

My dog's, not mine. You don't have time for that. :)

So today I thought I'd share something that does not evoke happiness in my dog. In fact, I don't know what it evokes in him, but it certainly makes him wild whenever it comes out. (I mean raving wild.)

I give you: Jon Farleigh vs. The Salt Shaker 
(This was the best shot I could get - the rest were blurry.)
 "I kill it for you, mom!!!"
[whining, panting, frantic jumping]

Can anyone tell me what it is about a salt shaker (or any shaker) that could make an otherwise happy dog lose his mind? Has anyone heard of this? I'm sure it's the sound, but whyyyyyyyyy???
(Guess it's better than a thunder neurosis - knock wood.)

Does anyone else have a dog who goes bonkers at benign objects? :)
