My Name Is Hoover-Isn't That Ironic

My name is Hoover. The humans named me after a mechanical crumb sucking device used to "clean" the interiors of two legged domiciles.


Apparently, prior to me, all the dogs who lived with my humans were inhalators of crumbs. Legend has it that they would hear a crumb hit the floor and be there before the dust had settled. And they would eat the dust too.

So, before they even met me they decided they would name me after a popular crumb sucking machine.


Surprise! I don't particularly care for human cast offs found on the floor. If I come across a crumb on the floor I might lick it but I'll leave it there.

Luckily they named my sister after a much more powerful crumb sucking machine.


So if you want your floor clean call


If you want some furry puppy love call

  1. Thanks for the story, Hoover. I had a hunch that might be it, sort of. I am not a floor cleaner either, but my Mom's last two pups were and she tells me she sort of misses that. She could drop some foodable and before it hit the floor some pup would be swallowing it. Some reputation to have, eh, Hoover? Not for me either.

    Kisses,
