DEAR ANNIE: About a year and a half ago, my husband’s uncle helped us hire a cleaning lady. My husband and I both work, so this cleaning lady comes one Saturday a month because that’s our shared day off. We pay her good money, and she does a pretty good job. The only problem I have is that she asks very personal questions.

Vacuums oftentimes terrify dogs. An article from Dogster stated that between 20 and 50 percent of dogs display behaviors of noise sensitivity and because a dog's hearing is much stronger than a human's. That means while a vacuum noise might annoy us, dogs find vacuums to be much louder and uncomfortable.
