Clover. 5 pounds of attitude.

Our dog doesn’t go in the basement. In fact, he’s terrified of it because there is luggage down there (he fears all things on wheels that get pushed by 2-leggers, including the vacuum). Yet we fill a 5-gallon pail worth of dog fur from the basement every 6 months. That stuff just tends to travel.
And I’m quite sure we all ingest a hamster worth of fur every month.
My big pup Boston have a thing for things on wheels. It's not fear though, I guess he hates them because he tends to attack and bite them. He did with bicycles and bikes years ago but I was able to train him to not do that. With skateboards and scooters... there's nothing I can do except for shortening the leash and change road. He really HATES those things and he's able to destroy them in a matter of seconds.

It is odd what they take a dislike to. We’ve had ours since a pup, so we know he didn’t have a bad experience that caused it.

The vacuum I sort of get. It is a loud machine that my wife controls and my kids and I steer clear of her when she operates it. We’re convinced that she’s angrier when she vacuums. Or she vacuums when she is angry about the state of the house. Either way, we high tail it to the hardware store, the supermarket, or out to the yard. When not together we warn each other with a text that simply says “vacuuming”.

Perhaps the luggage just reminds him of the vacuum. He’s good with bikes and such.

My other son’s pup, Theo. Will not move when he puts booties on him. Stubborn enough that he’ll just stand in one spot for 10 minutes until he gets carried outside. -6F out so booties are a necessity. Without the booties he’ll just stand outside in one spot alternating raising his feet in the air!
