Oh, don't let her fool you! She's not as brave as she appears to be in these pictures!! She just didn't get the chance to run and hide before I started vacuuming!! Normally she does. She usually jumps up onto the refridgerator and watches from there. She knows I control it and won't let it get her, though! She just got ticked off at her beauty sleep being interrupted and decided to have a brave moment AFTER the vacuum had been put away and got over and SLAP it!!
