We thought the rider fell off or something and it was going to crash. Then it turned and kept mowing. Park Roomba!

    My dog is super fascinated by lawn mower robots. Every time we see one he has to stand and watch for a couple of minutes. I wonder how he’d react to one of this size. Interestingly, he doesn’t care much for our robot vacuum. For the most part he avoids it, sometimes he lays down in its way and freaks out when it bumps into him.

      My crazy dog has always wanted to bite the push mower whenever it moves. I suspect he thinks it growls at him. He’s fine until it starts moving, then he goes crazy. Naturally he’s contained for his safety when mowing takes place.

        Ooh. Is it like aggressive or playful? My dog gets a mix of playful and scared when the proper vacuum comes out and I suspect it’s because it “stands” in that front down back up playful position, and then howls like a banshee.

        Keeping both of our boys away from mowers sounds like a good idea haha.

          It’s sorta playful, but seems like it could get out of hand. Mostly goes for the wheels. The playbow must be a powerful piece of dog language. There’s a consistent misunderstanding when anybody tries to tie their shoes here.

          Yes!
