    Do your dogs challenge the lawnmower??

    A very random thread...

    I was just mowing the lawn yesterday, and Blaze loves to come out and "chase" it around for a while. He always keeps his distance, but it's sooo hilarious to watch him make sudden jumps towards the lawnmower (we have one that you push) and stare at it like it's alive! He also sometimes chases the grass that flies out! lol! So...are your dogs scared or love the lawnmower?


    Thanks Kay!!

    My Aussies like to grab the tires. My mower is a rider.

    Samantha does what you described Blaze does. Which doesn't make any sense. She'll challenge the big, loud lawnmower but cowers at the little vacuum.

    Simba likes to try and go after it, but we keep them inside while mowing the long for their safety.

    Finn's never been near a lawnmower, so, I have no idea how he'd react! I know he runs from the vacuum. I have to put him out on the patio, cuz he peed the last time I vacuumed.

    I never let the dogs stay out when I mow the lawn. There are too many accidents with lawn mowers and dogs for me to be comfortable. They aren't phased by the noise though.

    Buddy follows me around the yard as I am on the riding lawn mower and Sierra runs to the other side of the yard. She hates it VERY much!

    Neither of mine will chase the lawn mower. The vacuum on the other hand...

    Roscoe doesn't bother with the lawnmower, he just has to be on whatever side of the yard that my husband is on whenever he is cutting the grass. However, Roscoe is terrified of the vacuum cleaner. Don't ask why, since the lawnmower is much louder...maybe it's the person on the other end??

    No, I don't mow with mine outside anymore. I use to when Murph and Maddie were younger, because they'd just hang out on the patio, out of harms way. Or so I thought.

    One day I mowed over a rubber red ball, that I hadn't seen, when picking up their toys in the yard. It went flying out of the mower at warp speed. I had just enough time to notice Murph ducking as it went over his head, before I had to hit the dirt too. Because after it sailed over his head, it ricocheted off the house and headed straight for me. Just missed me.

    If it had hit Murph, it probably would have killed him, so no more mowing with the dogs outside for me.
