(8,843 posts)I told people that I dust busted our dog and they implied dog abuse.
Then when they visited my dog dropped her dust buster at their feet and gazed expectantly.
Daphne had dogasms from dust busting.
Lightning and thunder was another matter.

(20,228 posts)I gave her a super short haircut when her hair was falling out from chemo. The big pieces dropped onto the sheet I had wrapped around her, but I used the DB to pick up the tiny trimmings. I put it against her neck just to lighten the mood and she said it felt good. So I DB her whole head. LOL

(8,843 posts)The county hospice people were some of the best folks I have met in my life.
The dog dust busting was the best ever for doggy and home hygiene.
Daphne got full body busting and would lean her body hard into the hand vacuum then roll onto her back for more.
I had another beagle that would tolerate but other dogs had the expected attitude.
With Daphne the dust busting was a family and friend feel-good ritual. Wish I had a video.

(11,012 posts)are such clever little rascals that sometimes it takes a self-locking garbage can and two bungee cords to keep them from getting into (and spreading it around) the garbage.
And the armadillas! They practically plow your newly pjanted fruit and veggie patches -- when you least need them plowed.

(8,843 posts)Lots of wildlife as live on National Forest inholding.
Also ring tailed cats otherwise known as Miner's cats but we bow have a sort of peace.
One dens under my deck and seems to keep other animals away.
There had been feral cats that had lived in an outbuilding for 15 plus years and they are gone.
Last spring I found 3 "kittens" in grassy weeds near the den.
Moved my compost pile to near the entrance to the "den".
Last month there was a commotion and I went out and had a stare down with two ring tail cats; they were probably mating.
Note: That is not my deck but an internet image.
From wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-tailed_cat
The ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) is a mammal of the raccoon family, native to arid regions of North America. It is also known as the ringtail cat, ring-tailed cat, miner's cat or bassarisk, and is also sometimes mistakenly called a "civet cat" (after similar, though unrelated, cat-like omnivores of Asia and Africa). The ringtail is sometimes called a cacomistle, though this term seems to be more often used to refer to Bassariscus sumichrasti.
I live amid lush forests and ring tailed cats are relatively common. They are nocturnal and one is most likely to see them on the road at night. There are two kinds of skunks here: striped skunks and small spotted skunks. The at least local name for the spotted skunk is "civit cat".
