Jovi is terrified of the Dyson too! Neo is nonchalant about it, but he still moves out of the way (but he does stay in the same room). I have to admit I don't hoover very often so Jovi probably didn't see it much when he was a puppy
As for the ironing, I don't like doing that either so the boys aren't subjected to that terror.. The board lives in the cellar and Jovi is too scared of the stairs down to get to it!
Neo used to attack the broom when you tried to sweep up, but I think this was a puppy thing, as he's far to mature to do this now.
The biggest embarrassment for me was on Sunday, when Neo ran off up the path barking at this man and his children... He was wearing one of those back-pack child carriers, and I'm sure Neo thought he had 2 heads! Jovi ran off after him and 'backed him up'... I had to apologise profusely and explain that neither were viscious and that I was sure it was the back pack that had spooked them
I guess I should be pleased he was trying to protect me!!!
