Walt Longmire Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 GF is sewing a quilt. I notice my dog up against my leg shivering like she is shitting peach pits. I open the door and she is out in a flash. She hates the pressure cooker also, and when I put my tool batteries on the charger she reacts the same way. This is a dog that will blood trail a bear or moose. Scared of a sewing machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Longmire Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 The dog is a Golden Pyrenees. Smartest and best dog I have had so far. If she is afraid of the sewing machine, perhaps I should be also. Tin foil hat being made right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Cicero Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 She would not do well around here. I sew to keep my sanity, and its been a pretty challenging week. This quilt has 8 more seams and it's done... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneshotonepill Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I have a pit bull that thinks the vacuum cleaner is assaulting whoever is using it. He has attacked the lawn mower a couple of times too. He's afraid of our cats, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty is also afraid of the Roomba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTMac Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I have a friend whose moderately large and otherwise fearless dog is afraid of watermelons. I do not understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxterriermom Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 My minpin is petrified of the air compressor. Neither dog liked the Roomba when I first got it and now they are like, Meh. One of the cats still hisses at it though if it gets too close. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aomagrat Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 My brother adopted a dog that was afraid of firearms. Be it a rifle or a handgun, when he saw one his hair would stand on end and he would bare his teeth and growl and snarl. Over the years he calmed down. He ignores them now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Pets are weird at times. I housesit for my parents a couple times a year when they go on vacation. One of their dogs is oblivious to most loud noises and the other hides in the bathtub. Yet, the dog that is scared of damn near everything that makes loud or sudden noise will follow you around when mowing the lawn... One of my cats is "special" as well. She hates the sounds of the gas trimmers and leaf blowers from the landscapers and hides under my bed as soon as she hears it. However, when I vacuum, the little turd grows a pair and will take swipes at it because she backs herself in a corner instead of running away and hiding like the other one does.

janice6 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 My dog hates dry firing. What we hear as a slight "click" of the firing pin, is a terribly loud high frequency noise spike and even if he doesn't know it's going to happen, he is startled to the point he starts shaking. The same dog has gone out in a thunderstorm to pee, and in mid stream a very close lighting strike made a boom so loud I felt it in my chest. The dog quickly turned his head, but continued peeing and sauntered back into the house when he was done, Drenched, but done. Personally, I couldn't have continued peeing when that thunder hit!

My dog is all about gun control. If there is a gun around, she wants me to control it. If anyone else is shooting, she wants to hide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
