Excellent. I did my dusting and floor polishing yesterday. I've had dogs that shed and don't shed. I loved them all. After all what is a little shedding, when so much love is returned. I loved this not just because it is good poetry, but also because I can relate and it brought back fond memories.

Hahaha!!! I love the imagery you have created in this poem, and the fact it is so common that a pet would cling to a vacuum or a floor cleaner/polisher. This puts a smile on my face. Thank you, Audrine!
Dogs are pack animals and very social. Regardless of their circumstance, they quickly form a hierarchy that is usually maintained. And, if in a household, include all the humans as part of their pack. So I believe this one dog loves to hang around this dust catcher as his best buddy in the pack. And those other two dogs need to keep their rightful distance!
