Homer (our old cat) would just lay there while you vacuumed, until you had to actually nudge him with the nozzle to get him to move. Oscar (my dog) just lays there, and doesn't take a nudge as a hint (or "as good as a wink to a blind bat"). Sometimes I just vacuum around him, picturing an Airedale-shaped sand-silhouette on the floor later when he moves (it never works out that way though. My artistic vision stomped on once again by cruel reality.
).

Did you know that when John Wayne was a kid he was actually called "Little Duke", and it was because the real "Duke" - his big Airedale Terrier - went everywhere with him?
I think there's something in that for all of us.
